Summer signing Michael Symes is relishing the chance to go back to his boyhood club Everton in the Capital One Cup.

The striker is hoping to feature for Orient in Wednesday night’s second round tie at the Premier League club where he spent more than ten years as a youngster.

Symes is a lifelong Everton supporter and would love the chance to play against the Toffees.

He said: “It’s brilliant. I was at Everton for 11 years as a kid and I’ve supported them all my life so it will be great to go back there and play at Goodison Park.

"I’m from around that area so I’ll have a lot of people coming to watch it. We’re all looking forward to it and hopefully we can go there and give a good account of ourselves.”
