Everton youngster Antonee Robinson has sealed his permanent exit from the club.

Robinson, 21, has joined Wigan Athletic permanently after a successful stint on loan last season.

The Latics confirmed on their official website Robinson has signed a three year contract.

Robinson made 26 appearances on loan at Wigan, a figure which would have been higher if not for injury.

He had spent a decade at Everton, coming through the academy.

He sent a message on Twitter last night expressing his excitement at taking the next step in his career.

Robinson is a US international, with seven caps to his name already.

The young left-back did not get as far as making his debut for the first team at Everton. Wigan are the beneficiaries.
