Coleman new deal extends Everton stay to 17th season
Everton club captain Seamus Coleman has signed a one-year contract extension to take his stay at the club into a 17th season. The 36-year-old right-back has made 428 appearances for Toffees across all competitions, and his 369 Premier League appearances is the club record. "I love Everton so to continue playing for this special club means everything to me and my family," said Republic of Ireland defender Coleman."Like every one of our passionate fans, I've lived and breathed what has been a difficult past few years for the club and have put my heart and soul into doing all I can to help us get through it."Coleman's previous deal was due to expire last move to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium next season after leaving Goodison Park, their home for 133 years."Thanks to the hard work of many people, we've been able to get into our magnificent new stadium and pave the way for a brighter future under ambitious new owners, which I want to be part of," said Coleman"After a disappointing time with injuries last season, my focus will be on working hard, spending as much time on the pitch as possible, and helping Everton any way I can."Coleman made just five league appearances during the 2024-25 campaign as he struggled with various injury issues and notably took interim charge of the side alongside Under-18s coach Leighton Baines after the sacking of Sean Dyche in January. 'More than just a player' Having been the man to sign Coleman for the club back in January 2009 for just £60,000, Everton manager David Moyes hailed the veteran defender's influence on the dressing room during his two spells in charge. "His leadership, his professionalism and his humanity are second to none. He's helped carry the club through some difficult periods in the past few years and his influence in the dressing room has been key to that," said Moyes."He's had to deal with some really difficult injuries, too, but he has done that and still been able to help inspire inside the dressing room at the same time."This could be a period of real change at the club and I want somebody who can help deliver the messages of what it means to be an Everton footballer. Seamus has always done that and I know he will continue to do so as we move into a new era."
