David Moyes expects that young Irish defender Seamus Coleman, currently on-loan at Championship play-off finalists Blackpool, will be back at Goodison as a part of his first-team squad next season.

The 21 year-old full-back, who made his first-team bow earlier in the season for Everton, has been extremely impressive for Ian Holloway's promotion chasing side.

And Moyes believes that he will have gained some invaluable experience, which will stand him in good stead for the future.

"We'll get Seamus back but [the play-off final] is great for him," Moyes told Everton's official website.

"He had a terrible injury in pre-season which kept him out and, if hadn't been for that, he might have had more games and he might have even been further along.

"But I think these games for Blackpool, at the level they're playing at, will do him no harm at all."
