Biography
Thierry Small holds Everton's record as the youngest player in the club's history, a mark he set in January 2021 at just 16 years and 176 days old. Born 1 August 2004 in England, Small signed professionally with Southampton after his stint at Everton and spent the 2022–23 season on loan at Port Vale in the EFL League One and Scottish Premiership side St Mirren. He returned to St Mirren for the 2023–24 campaign before joining Charlton Athletic permanently in February 2024, where he helped the club win the 2025 EFL League One play-offs. At the end of the 2024–25 season, he signed with Preston North End in the EFL Championship.

Born under Leo, Small's career reflects the restless energy of a young athlete chasing recognition after an early breakthrough.
