Back in April, Everton Under-23s boss David Unsworth told the Liverpool Echo: “Broady is a great player at this level, him and Josh Bowler, two great players and great young talent.
"I think timing in development football is everything. Right place, right time, taking your opportunities, it's what it's all about.
"Someone gets injured, which you don't like, but then being available. Sometimes you don't go on loan and you get a chance, sometimes you do go out on loan, it's just one of those things.
