Luke Garbutt has been sent out on loan by Everton over the last two seasons.
Luke Garbutt has told the Liverpool Echo that he may look to leave Everton in the future.
Garbutt broke into Everton’s team back in the 2014/15 season, and he impressed during his initial showings for the side.
The 23-year-old was considered to have a very bright future, but his career has stalled in recent years.
Garbutt has been sent out on loan to both Fulham and Wigan Athletic in the last two seasons, but he has failed to hold down a first-team place at either side.
And although Garbutt wants to break back into Everton’s team, he admits that he may have to move on unless he can get regularly game-time.
“I’ve got a long term contract at Everton so I can try and play regularly at my loan club and hopefully go to Everton and play in their team,” the left-back said.
“But if that doesn’t work out and I’ve played well at my loan team then I can get a transfer somewhere else. You’re always thinking to yourself ‘I need to play football and I’ll go anywhere to play.”
Garbutt is currently on loan at Wigan, but he has only made three appearances so far this campaign.
The youngster has a lot of competition to break back into the team at Everton, with the likes of Leighton Baines and Brendan Galloway seemingly ahead of him in Ronald Koeman’s selection order.
