'If I could play for anyone it would be Everton and who knows, it could still happen,' he told the Wrexham Mail yesterday.

'Hopefully Saturday's match will be a chance for me to shine, I'm desperate to play.

'Since I heard about the game I've been looking forward to it. This will be the first time I've played against Everton and there'll be a lot of my friends and family coming down from Liverpool.'

Manager Denis Smith was less optimistic however, stating that the Toffees were in town to `stuff us`.
