David Moyes watched his side in action for the first time in the 2026/27 and there were plenty of positives to take from the 4-0 victory.

The Scot rotated his XI in the second-half and provided the young prospect, Foster, with 30 minutes of action at Dens Park.

Absolutely love this! A real classy kit for the Toffees… 🤩

Who is Everton’s Harvey Foster?

The 19-year-old midfielder signed a two-year deal on Merseyside back in 2025, which leaves him with 12 months left on his current deal.

Foster has been a regular in the Everton U18 side under Keith Southern, but he did make an appearance for the U21s last season.

In the game against Ipswich Town at the end of the 2025/26 campaign, Foster was able to provide two assists for Paul Tait.

With Tait having now left Everton ahead of the new season, there could be an opportunity for the midfielder to step up into the U21 side on a regular basis at Finch Farm.

How Harvey Foster played for Everton vs Dundee

Coming on at the hour-mark, Foster played against the Scottish Premiership side with a great deal of confidence.

The midfielder wearing number 81 slotted in for Harrison Armstrong and did not look out of place in the slightest.

His goal was incredibly well taken, with a quick reaction from the midfielder catching the Dundee goalkeeper out of position.

Moyes will have been impressed with what he saw from the youngster.

Whether David Moyes could use Harvey Foster this season for Everton

Seeing Foster make the leap from the U18s to the first team for the 2026/27 season would be a huge ask.

It also has to be considered just how bloated a midfield department Everton currently have back at Finch Farm.

However, there is an opportunity for Foster this summer to cement his spot in the U21s or even force a move away on loan in men’s football.

From his calm and collected performance on Saturday, it is clear that Foster may be ready to make the jump and play regularly in men’s football.
