Lewis Warrington has confirmed he is leaving Everton this summer after 15 years at the club.
The Toffees midfielder posted a message to X on 15 July thanking the staff who had supported him through his 15-year career on Merseyside after coming through the youth ranks.
Warrington, 21, moved to Plymouth Argyle on loan last season but injury saw the move cancelled early during January and his contract at Goodison Park was allowed to expire this summer.
He departs along with Andre Gomes on free transfers while another midfielder in Amadou Onana is now on the brink of a big-money exit to Aston Villa.
In the post on his personal social media account, Warrington ended by saying: “Even though I am moving on, this club will remain a massive part in mine and my families lives. See you all in the stands.”

Warrington’s time at his boyhood club has fizzled out disappointingly over the past two years after he appeared set for a first-team breakthrough under Frank Lampard.
The then-teenager had impressed the former manager during the 2022 preseason and a new Everton contract was signed at a time when there was interest from other clubs.
