The Goodison Park academy graduate has been forced to call time on his career aged just 23 due to injury.
A number of Everton fans have taken to Twitter to give their support to Goodison Park academy graduate Calum Dyson, who has announced his retirement from professional football aged just 23.
The forward, who was last on the books of Plymouth, has been forced to call time on his playing career having failed to recover from an ankle injury which had blighted him over the past two years.
Liverpool-born Dyson came through the ranks at Everton and made three EFL Trophy games for the Toffees, also enjoying a loan spell at Grimsby Town in 2017 where he scored four times.
He never made a senior appearance for the Goodison Park side and, in the summer of 2018, moved to Plymouth on a free transfer, but his only first-team action for the Pilgrims came in two substitute appearances in the EFL Trophy, while a loan spell at Stevenage failed to yield an appearance due to injury.
“Being told to retire from your dream is hard to take, but grateful to have achieved that dream,” Dyson wrote on Twitter. “Looking forward to finding the right thing to do in the next chapter of my life now.”
