Tobias Linderoth signed for Everton in January 2002, from Stabaek Idrettsforening Fotball of Norway. The young Swedish international midfielder had played 55 games for Stabaek, scoring ten goals.

In his first half-season in the Premiership, Linderoth made 13 appearances for Everton, though he only made one start under new manager David Moyes. He played in all of Sweden's games in the 2002 World Cup, and will be hoping to make a big impression in his first full season in the Premiership.
