The Northern Irishman joined Everton from Dungannon Swifts in the summer of 2019 and has developed into a versatile performer who can play a number of different roles midfield roles, while he also turned out as right-back for the Under-21s in their 1-1 mini derby draw with Liverpool on Sunday when he also captained the side. The 20-year-old has made 14 Premier League 2 appearances this season, plus a further two in the EFL Cup, registering three goals and seven assists.

After returning from injury in February, McAllister has been a mainstay in Paul Tait’s side, starting each of Everton Under-21s’ past six matches, being handed the armband twice and admits he relishes the prospect of working with the first team again under Sean Dyche.
He said: “Taity’s been brilliant with me since I arrived. I had him as my Under-18s coach and in the second year he made me captain.
“That’s something he has done again with the Under-21s across recent games. It’s great to be working under him.
“I have trained a few times with the senior side, and I hope to get a few more in. But I want to keep impressing with the Under-21s and maybe get a loan deal if one comes, too.”
