Jack Harrison says it is 'brilliant to be back' after rejoining Everton on loan from Leeds

Harrison, 27, spent last season on loan at Goodison Park and the Toffees announced on Monday he would return for the 2024-25 campaign.

The winger told EvertonTV: "It's brilliant to be back. Everton is a great club, there is a fantastic group of lads here and I'm excited to get started again with a full pre-season of training.

"Last year, I had a lot of enjoyment at the club. We had to face a lot of adversity but we were able to continue on and have a good season overall.

"There are a lot of reasons for wanting to return to Everton. I think the club in general — the fans, the staff, the manager (Sean Dyche), my team-mates — everyone made me feel really comfortable right away and that's somewhere you want to be as a player.

"It's a great place to play football. The other thing is I know I have a lot more to offer. That's extra motivation for me to go back and prove to myself and to Everton Football Club that I can do more on the pitch.

"This season I'll be able to have a full pre-season and hopefully hit the ground running."
