He had a loan spell at Tranmere Rovers as a youngster before leaving the Toffees permanently to join Oldham Athletic in 2012. He then scored 17 goals in 50 games during his first spell with the Latics.

Sheffield United snapped him up in 2013 and he went on to play 124 times for the Blades, chipping in with 28 goals.

Spells back at Everton and Oldham followed on for him before he linked up with Plymouth Argyle for the first-half of the last campaign on a free transfer. However, his short-term stint at Home Park ended in February last year and he jetted off to America.

Wigan could now be casting an eye over him but Alan Nixon suggests he is only training with them.

The Latics are next in action on Tuesday against AFC Wimbledon.
