I’m excited to now be on their side and helping Everton to become successful." Lawley is the fourth new arrival at Everton this summer and boss Brian Sorensen said she is a "key signing"."It was extremely important we recruited in the wide areas this summer and it was vital for us to sign Melissa in terms of how we play."Lawley's arrival comes a day after Everton signed former West Ham midfielder Honoka Hayashi.
