Shae Cahill – the son of Everton legend Tim Cahill – has joined the club academy and his father is more than delighted.

The 14-year-old was first pictured training at Finch Farm three years ago, and it seems he has since done enough to earn a move.

Shae is now hoping for a similar career path as his dad and it will be interesting to see how that goes.

Cahill established himself as a fans’ favourite and legend during an eight-year spell on Merseyside, and the love for Everton is evident in the family as it has rubbed off on his son.

Makes me so proud to see my baby training with @Everton while he's over in the UK. Blue runs in our blood
