Seaton youngster Kyle O'Leary will step out with his idols at Brunton Park today - as he lines up as mascot for Everton FC.

Roberto Martinez's Premier League outfit are in town to take on Carlisle United in a sell-out fourth round FA Cup tie.

The Seaton Junior School pupil is a regular at Goodison Park, as a season ticket holder with dad Paul and younger sister Katie.

And they are all members of the Cumberland Everton Supporters Branch, which is celebrating its 20-year anniversary in 2016.

But the eight-year-old received a big surprise when a club representative got in touch to ask if he would like to be their mascot.

"We received an email out of the blue last Friday asking if Kyle would like to be the Everton mascot," explained mum Tracey.

"He was delighted and we will all be there to watch him."

The game, which kicks off 1.30pm, is set for a 17,392-capacity crowd and will be shown live on BT Sport.
