Sean O’Hanlon has established himself as a reserve team regular at the age of 19 after a string of impressive performances for Colin Harvey’s Under-19 side.

The Formby-born teenager can also play at right-back, but it is in the middle where he has excelled.

Nicknamed 'Chief' by his teammates, O'Hanlon is a cultured defender who is hoping to make the first-team squad this season.

Sean scored the opening goal of Everton’s pre-season campaign in the 3-1 win over SC Bruck/Mur and impressed fellow players and backroom staff with his mature displays.
