McCarten joins on loan.
John Coleman has completed the short term loan signing of Everton defender James McCarten.
The 19-year-old's move had been delayed due to a temporary transfer embargo, but he has now completed the switch to the Crown Ground.
"I've been waiting around for a couple of weeks wanting to sign," said McCarten. "I trained here a few weeks ago but wasn't allowed to play in the games so I went back to Everton to train. Now the embargo has been lifted I'm really happy to come here and try to get some games."
McCarten signed his first professional contract in October 2008 and has since gone on to be a regular in Everton's reserve team.
Coleman has been keen to capture the Netherton-born centre-back for some time and was delighted to finally get his man.
"He's a good player," said the boss. "He's good in the air, he's a good talker for one so young and he adds competition at the back."
McCarten trained with the first team today and could make his Stanley debut at Barnet on Saturday.
We already have more central midfielders than we need, plus more central defenders than we need, so why do we loan another defender, yet we still do not have a leftback???
