Tyrer filled with gratitude as he completes Cardiff move

Everton Academy product, Harry Tyrer, has officially completed a permanent move to Cardiff City, ending a 17-year association with the Toffees. 

The 24-year-old goalkeeper had to wait for an EFL transfer embargo to be lifted before his move could be completed but has now joined the Bluebirds for an undisclosed fee.

In a fulsome post to social media, Tyrer expressed his thanks to everyone at Everton who had helped him on his journey, one which will see him ply his trade away his boyhood club:

I walked into the Finch Farm building as a young boy I'm now leaving as a man. 17-and-a-half years at a club l've supported all my life. Making lifelong friends in the process and sharing the amazing memories with them all.

I've lived every Evertonians dream of walking out at Goodison listening to Z-Cars and playing in that iconic stadium. I want to thank everyone from the academy who has helped me get to where I am today.

I've experienced many great trips and experiences all over the world and I'm very thankful to have had those opportunities. I want to thank my family for making my dream come to fruition, making sure I was there everyday on time ready to train and give my all, the goalkeeping coaches and managers l've had training me all those years and learning from yourselves. l am grateful for everything you have done for me.

I also want to thank the behind the scenes staff at the club from the kitmen, S&C coaches, player care, chefs, stewards, canteen staff, teachers, yoga instructors, physios thank you!

Finally, the fans. Thank you for the support over the years whether that be standing in the torrential rain at the training ground waiting for autographs, messages sent online or supporting in the stadiums, thank you!!!

Once a Toffee always a Toffee #UTFT

Crosby-born Tyrer signed his first pro forms at Everton six years ago and joined Chester on loan for the 2022/23 season where he played almost a full season.

He followed that with a successful spell at Chesterfield, helping the Spireites gain promotion from the National League to League Two, and then spent last season at Blackpool, playing 38 times for the Tangerines.
