Aled Thomas

Left-footed centre-back Aled Thomas was born in Wrexham and joined Everton aged seven.

The Welsh defender, who has played at Under-17 level internationally, believes passing is a key strength of his play.

He lists Gareth Bale as a hero and says Jordan Pickford is his favourite Everton player.

Away from the pitch, he likes listening to Oasis, playing FIFA, and watching his favourite TV series, Benidorm.
