Cameron Bell has thanked Everton for 'everything' after signing a professional contract with Scottish giants Rangers.
The 16-year-old joined the Toffees when he was seven years old and the midfielder has progressed through the ranks at Goodison Park, also featuring for the Scottish youth sides as well.
Having announced back in May that he would be leaving Everton, Rangers have snapped him up on a free transfer and have announced that he will be joining their Under-18 squad in a short statement on their website.

Taking to social media himself, Bell said that it would be 'strange' to no longer wear the Everton kit and that he had 'some of the best moments in my life' representing the club through various age groups.
"Nine years at this football club," said Bell. "Travelled the world with my best mates and beat the some of the best teams in the world. I was gonna put some of my goals on but thought there’d be too many you see.
"Some of the best moments of my life playing for this football club and wouldn’t change a single thing. Thanks to every person at @everton that made me into the person and player that I am today.
"Hopefully things will return to the way they once was at the club soon enough. Gonna be strange not putting that kit on anymore but cannot wait for the next chapter.
"Thank you for everything @everton."
