AliousLewis Dobbin has bid farewell to Everton with a heartfelt message after finalizing his transfer to Aston Villa.
The 21-year-old’s move came swiftly following Villa’s expressed interest earlier this week.
Dobbin’s departure concludes a decade-long association with Everton, which he joined as a young boy.
His time at the club reached its pinnacle last season when he netted his first senior goal in a memorable victory over Chelsea.
Upon confirming his transfer, Dobbin shared: “Everton has been my home since I was 11.
It’s been a journey filled with unforgettable moments, both highs and lows, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I’m grateful to everyone at the club – the staff, players, behind-the-scenes personnel, and especially the fans.
Your unwavering support has meant everything. I feel it’s time for a new chapter in my career as I continue pursuing my dreams.
I’ll always cherish my time at Everton and wish the club the very best moving forward. Thank you, Blues.”
Dobbin’s goal against Chelsea at Goodison Park in December was a particularly poignant moment.
His late strike sealed a 2-0 victory, prompting jubilant celebrations as he raced towards the fans before being engulfed by his teammates.
