Louis Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Everton have beaten off interest from Spurs, Glasgow Celtic, Boro, Southampton, Portsmouth, Derby, Palace and Forest to sign 16 year old Ireland youth international Karl Sheppard from Shelbourne for an undisclosed fee (believed to be around £100k).. The Portmarnock born striker is expected to complete his dream move in the week which will see him join fellow countrymen and international team mates Ger Kinsella and Jay Wallace in the Everton academy. Incidentally this means that all the scorers in the final of the recent Montaigue tournament which Ireland won for the first time in it's history are now Everton players.

Louis Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 It can only be a good thing for the club's future - I can see Moyes staying another five years anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenjamin Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hopefully if DM stays long enough he can watch his fruit grow. I for one believe that DM has done great things for everton and by not only being a contender in Europe but also looking out for the future we will become a bigger and stronger club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11671_5657919,00.html Torquay have taken Everton youngster Karl Sheppard on trial, skysports.com understands. The League Two club have asked to have a look at Sheppard in training ahead of a possible loan move to Plainmoor. Everton beat a host of clubs to sign highly-rated Sheppard from Shelbourne in the summer of 2007. The 18-year-old is currently a member of Everton's Academy side and he is believed to have impressed since arriving on Merseyside. Torquay are now considering a loan move for the former Republic of Ireland Under 16 and Under 17 international. If Sheppard impresses Gulls boss Paul Buckle in training he could decide to sign the talented striker on loan to bolster his squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) will be good for the kid to get some league experience, so long as he doesnt get injured.... Agreed, you can have (and need) as much coaching and training as you want, but there is nothing to beat competetive experience.

Noddy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 That's unfortunate. I always like to see young Irish players do well. Did any of you see him play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 That's unfortunate. I always like to see young Irish players do well. Did any of you see him play? Saw him captain, I think, the 18s in a friendly in the summer. Wasnt' anything stand out if i'm honest. Lewis Codling was better and i'd imagine he'll be gone soon aswell.

Ian C Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Scored for Galway at the weekend. Played very well. The pundits on MNS (Monday Night Soccer, the highlights show) thought he was a pretty exciting prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
