Everton midfielder Tom Davies will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the month after turning down a new deal, the club have announced.
The 24-year-old former academy player, who made his debut aged 17 in April 2016, will exit Goodison Park in search of regular playing time after featuring only 19 times in the Premier League last season.
Manager Sean Dyche was keen for Davies to stay and fight for a place in the team as Everton look to avoid a third straight top-flight relegation scrap next campaign.
Instead, he will become the third first-team player to move on at the end of their deals, after it was confirmed earlier in June that Andros Townsend and Yerry Mina would not be offered new contracts.

With England international inching towards what will be a blockbuster £105million move to Arsenal, it appears that England’s elite are set for a record summer spent.
However, while the Premier League might have only continued to flex their financial muscle over the past few transfer windows, there are a string of superstar names that find themselves without a club.
On what is a stacked list of superstars that are still searching for a new adventure ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, we have taken a look at three all-star free agents.
David de Gea
Although Erik ten Hag might have publicly stated over the past couple of months that he wanted David de Gea to extend his stay at Old Trafford past the summer, it now appears that the Spanish shot-stopper has official…
´It´s not the end of the world´ – Harry Kane adamant England remain on course despite snore draw wit
Harry Kane insisted England s drab performance against the United States was not the end of the world for us and kept the team in a strong position at Qatar 2022.
Captain Kane missed a late chance to make a breakthrough when he planted a header well wide as the game at Al Bayt Stadium finished goalless.
The USA were the better side for large parts of the game, but they passed up half-chances and England survived scares before improving in the closing stages.
It wasn t our best performance, for sure, Kane told ITV. We had some good spells with the ball and created some good positions, but we just didn t have the final product today.
It s a great clean sheet, it puts us in a great position in the group.

Ousmane Dembele scored and assisted three others as Barcelona warmed up for Wednesday s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich by thrashing Athletic Bilbao 4-0 at Camp Nou.
Xavi s team raced into a three-goal lead before half-time in Thursday s mauling of Villarreal and they repeated the trick on Sunday as Sergi Roberto and Robert Lewandowski joined Dembele on the scoresheet within 22 minutes.
Having set up Roberto and Lewandowski, Dembele continued to terrorise Athletic after the break and helped Barca add some gloss when he teed up Ferran Torres for a neat finish late on.
The result moved Barca back to within three points of leaders Real Madrid in the LaLiga standings, with Los Blancos having moved clear with a 3-1 win over Sevilla on Saturday.
Vicente del Bosque should stay on as Spain head coach beyond Euro 2016, according to former Real Madrid star Jose Antonio Camacho.
The future of the 65-year-old remains shrouded in doubt as he has not yet given a definitive answer on whether he will continue his eight-year spell with the national team beyond their title defence in France this year.
But Camacho, who reached the final of Euro 84 as a player before guiding them to the quarter-finals of World Cup 2002 as coach, says Del Bosque remains the best man for the role.
The coach who I like the most now is Vicente del Bosque and I think he certainly has to continue with the national team, he said at a coaching conference in Madrid.
Spain s World Cup defence came to an early end two years ago as they …
Mauricio Pochettino would be making a mistake by going back to Tottenham as Jamie Carragher believes a second Spurs stint would be akin to Kevin Keegan s Newcastle United return.
Pressure is building on Tottenham coach Antonio Conte after a desperate run that has ended their hopes of winning silverware this season.
After back-to-back Premier League victories lifted Spurs into the top four, they crashed out of the FA Cup at Sheffield United, lost at Wolves in the league and then exited the Champions League following a dismal goalless draw against Milan.
With Conte s contract up at the end of the season, it appears likely the former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter boss will soon be departing Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Pochettino, who spent five years at the clu…
Milan held Tottenham to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday to preserve their 1-0 lead from the first leg and advance to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 11 years.
Brahim Diaz s goal in the early stages of the reverse fixture gave Milan something to protect at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and they did exactly that in a game of few chances.
Neither side managed an attempt on target in the first half and, while Spurs did show more urgency in the second period, there was not enough quality to break down Milan.
Spurs, who had Cristian Romero sent off 11 minutes from time for a second bookable offence, have now exited the Champions League and FA Cup in the past week.
Milan hold out!

Former Arsenal, Chelsea and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas has retired from football at the age of 36.
The 2010 World Cup-winner made the announcement via Twitter on Saturday having ended the two-year contract he signed with Italian Serie B side Como last summer 12 months early.
