Everton have confirmed the appointment of Steve Round as David Moyes' new assistant manager.

The Toffees had been locked in a contract dispute with Newcastle United over the 37-year coach, but the former Middlesbrough and England number two has now been allowed to move to Goodison Park.

DAVID MOYES

Moyes had been on the lookout for a new assistant following Alan Irvine's decision to take over at Championship side Preston North End in November.

Round was part of Steve McClaren's backroom staff at Boro and with England before joining the Magpies under former manager Sam Allardyce 12 months ago.

"Once David asked me and I met him it was a definite," he told evertonTV.

"He sold me the club. He sold me the ideas, how he was moving it forward and how he wanted to take the next step.

"I said I would definitely come and here we are."
