Everton talent has joined Hull on loan.
Everton prospect Josh Bowler is taking the next step in his career on loan with Hull City.
Hull boss Grant McCann is excited about the young Everton winger.
McCann told the Hull City official website he believes Bowler will get fans off their feet and quickly become a favourite.
The former Doncaster Rovers boss said: “Josh is a player that has excited a lot of teams and managers with the way he performed for Everton’s U23s last season.
“He got his move to Everton on the back of just one senior appearance for QPR, but I think now is the right time for him to go out on loan having had a couple of seasons with Everton’s U23s. He’s more than capable of making a big impact for us this season.
“What he will bring to the team is pace, directness and energy – he’ll get people off their seats because he wants to beat defenders. He wants to create and score goals and I’m sure he will prove to be a great acquisition for us.”
Bowler played a crucial role as Everton’s young side won the under-23 title last season.
It was no wonder that Hull boss McCann claims the Tigers beat off heavy competition to sign him.
McCann’s Doncaster side played positive attacking football last season, and McCann used loanees to his advantage too, giving attacker Mallik Wilks plenty of playing time.
It’s no guarantee Bowler will thrive in the Championship, but he is playing under a manager who believes in him, and has a track record of developing young talent.
For Bowler, Everton and Hull’s sake, there is common interest that the move is a big success.
