England 'disappointment' fuels Dewsbury-Hall's Everton heroics

The wait until the next international break in March will undoubtedly feel like an eternity for Dewsbury-Hall.

But the Everton midfielder is no stranger to taking the long road to success, having experienced plenty of setbacks and detours throughout his career.

He did not make his Premier League debut for boyhood club Leicester City until the age of 22, having spent previous seasons gaining valuable experience out on loan in the English Football League with Luton Town and Blackpool.

Even when his opportunity to establish himself in the Foxes' first team finally arrived, it came during a turbulent period for the club, which ultimately ended in relegation from the Premier League at the end of the following season.
