As the EFL regular season wraps up and the play-offs heat up, it's time to check in on how Everton's loan players fared in their final fixtures—and who's gearing up for promotion drama.

Issac Heath missed out on Accrington Stanley's season finale, still sidelined by injury as they fell 3-0 to Oldham Athletic. The result locked in a 16th-place finish in League Two—a solid but unspectacular end to their campaign.

Stockport County, however, delivered when it mattered most. A commanding 3-1 away win over Barnsley secured third place and a spot in the League One play-offs. Roman Dixon came off the bench in the 81st minute, helping his side see out the victory. He even tested the keeper from a tight angle with a powerful strike that whistled just wide into the side netting, while chipping in with two defensive contributions. Benony Breki Andresson sealed the win with a stoppage-time third goal—setting the stage for an exciting play-off push.

At Port Vale, it was a tougher watch. Eli Campbell was absent for their final match in League One for at least a year, while Martin Sherif played the full 90 minutes against champions Lincoln City. Sherif had just one shot—a big chance he missed—as Vale slumped to a 2-0 defeat, ending a difficult season on a low note.

With the regular season done, focus shifts to what's next. While Dixon hopes to help Stockport chase promotion to the Championship, the other loanees will return to Finch Farm. Campbell looks the most likely to have a future at Everton, but Sherif still has potential—both will benefit from another loan spell, ideally back in League One. For Dixon, consistent first-team football may require a permanent move, but for now, all eyes are on his role in Stockport's play-off charge.
