Caleb Tierney

Career
Caleb worked his way through the Everton youth system where he gained his pro contract in the 21/22 season. In the 24/25 season he was loaned out to Bolton Wanderers and performed decently, conceding 17 in 13. He got his one and only appearance for Everton in the 25/26 season. Gateshead realised that he was not renewing his contract for the 26/27 season so signed his as a back-up to replace the retiring Kleinhieder. He played in the majority of cup games that year. Conceding 10 in a respectable 9 games for the north east side. For the 27/28 season he was loaned out to Doncaster where he played an impressive 54 times and only conceding 60 games over the season. The next season came and he was again loaned out to Huddlesfield Town where he played 51 games and conceded 69 for the League One side. He looked to challenge Mertens for the 29/30 season which he did, playing 16 games but only conceding 7. He played mostly in cup fixtures but still contributed to the Championship victory. After the promotion to the Premiership, it was very obvious that Mertens was the far superior goalkeeper between the two of them. This didn't stop Caleb appearing 8 games and conceding an acceptable 8 throughout the 30/31 season. He played one more game in the 31/32 season than the year before, but again conceded 8 goals. Ireland decided that he wasn't going to renew his contract for the 32/33 season due to him deserving first team football further down the football ladder. A bosman deal came in from Scottish side Kilmarnock for the upcoming season. He moved to the Championship side during the summer and was playing way more from the get go.
