Everton complete the transfer of former Rangers forward Steven Naismith on a four-year contract.

Everton have announced the signing of former Rangers forward Steven Naismith on a four-year deal.

The 25-year-old became a free agent this month after refusing to transfer his contract over to Charles Green's newco at Rangers, which sparked risks of legal action against the player.

Naismith told the club's official website: "It is a great honour to be joining a club of Everton's wonderful history and to have the chance to play with such a talented group of players in the world's best league in front of such a passionate group of fans.

"I look forward greatly to working with the manager David Moyes and all the staff at Everton and working hard to deliver on the pitch to repay their, and the Chairman Mr Kenwright's, faith and belief in me."

Moyes added: "We are delighted that Steven has agreed to join us. He will be an excellent addition to the players we already have and we look forward to him being fit and ready to play at the start of the season.

"He is an established international who can play in a number of positions. He has a flexibility we always like in our players and which will hopefully prove to be very useful for us."

Naismith will meet his teammates and begin training with the Toffees at Finch Farm this week.
