Neville hails Everton fans Down Under

Everton captain Phil Neville has thanked fans for their support of the club's tour of Australia.

Neville paid testament to the support the team received Down Under which made the tour so special.

"You never think Everton fans are going to be in a place like Brisbane and then they turn up and fill the stand behind the goal," Neville told evertontv.

"It was no different to away at Blackburn. You come to the other side of the world and it makes you proud to play for this Club because the supporters are fantastic. It has made the trip worthwhile. The Premier League is a global product and we have got to make sure we visit parts of the world and keep our supporters in touch with us.

"I think since we have come to Brisbane we have been counting down the hours until we see our families. That is no disrespect to the tour, it's just we have been away for 18 days now. We are ready to get back to the nitty gritty of training at Finch Farm and playing against Preston, Norwich, Everton Chile and Wolfsburg. The Premier League season is almost upon us and I am excited."
