Seamus Coleman Extends Everton Stay Into 16th Season
Everton skipper Seamus Coleman has extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2025.
Coleman has spent 15 years on the Blue side of Merseyside after joining from Republic of Ireland side Sligo Rovers for a nominal fee in 2009.
Coleman has made 422 appearances in total for Everton and has captained the side since 2019.
His previous contract was due to expire at the end of this month.
"Everyone knows what Everton means to me, and I'm very proud and honoured to sign a new contract and to keep playing for this special club in the best league in the world," Coleman told evertontv. "I'm going to cherish and enjoy every moment.
"It's hard to believe it’s going to be our last season at Goodison, such a special place to me and every Evertonian. Of course, I want to be part of that.
"I still feel I can do a job for this football club on and off the pitch. This being our last season at Goodison is a nice way to go into the campaign, but I wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't feel capable of contributing to the team."
"From the day I became Everton manager, Seamus has been a great example to his team-mates and staff of what it means to play for the club," head coach Sean Dyche added.
"He is a model professional and helps set standards, and his leadership is rightly admired by everyone. His vast experience and know-how on the pitch will continue to be valuable qualities for us in the season ahead."
