Seamus Coleman, the Everton defender, has recently put pen to paper on a fresh one-year contract extension.
The experienced right-back’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of this month, but he has committed to remaining at Goodison Park for a remarkable 15th season, with his new contract running until 2024.
While Coleman endured a spell on the sidelines during the latter part of the previous season due to injury, he is eager to add to his impressive tally of 409 appearances for the Toffees.
The 34-year-old Irishman, who joined Everton in January 2009, is closing in on becoming the club’s all-time record appearance holder in the Premier League, requiring just three more appearances to achieve this milestone.
He told the club’s official website: “Everyone knows how much Everton means to me which is why it is special to sign this new contract and continue to play for this great club.
“From the moment I joined more than 14 years ago, the support my family and I have had from our fans and everyone around the club has been amazing and I never take for granted just how fortunate I am to represent Everton. That has included the honour of wearing the captain’s armband in recent years.”
Boss Sean Dyche added: “We are all pleased Seamus has signed his new deal. I have hugely enjoyed working with him since becoming Everton manager.
“He is a top professional who helps to set high standards every day and makes it clear what it means to play for Everton Football Club.
“His quality and experience continue to be of great use and will do again once he’s back fit.”
