Celtic's former Head of Football Operations, Nick Hammond, has landed a new role at Everton.
He has been appointed to lead the Premier League club's player trading activity.
He arrives having most recently worked as a transfer consultant at both Leeds United and Newcastle United.
Angus Kinnear, new Toffees CEO, said: “I’m delighted with the appointments of Nick, James and Nick. Their CVs speak for themselves - they are exceptional operators, hugely respected in the game and an example of the ambition we hold as a Club in ensuring the pathways and structures in place across our football operations are of the very highest standard.

“The fact we had such exceptional candidates for these positions is also a reflection of the direction of the Club. I'm equally delighted by our appointment of Chris and ownership's strategic acquisition of Insight Sport, which is a further sign of our ownership’s ambition for Everton and I believe step-changes our analytics capability and will deliver us a long-term competitive advantage.
“The new football leadership structure will ensure our two managers have the very best support, and the very best operators driving the key football operations, to ensure our collective ambitions are realised.”
Hammond joined Celtic in 2019, and was employed by Newcastle United by 2021.
