Everton Captain Seamus Coleman Signs One-Year Extension

Everton club captain Seamus Coleman has signed a new one-year contract to extend his career into a 17th season at the club, despite an injury-hit 2024-25 season that limited him to just seven appearances. Manager David Moyes, who originally signed Coleman in 2009, values his leadership, professionalism, and influence in the dressing room, especially as the club transitions from Goodison Park to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Coleman expressed his commitment to Everton's future under new ownership and highlighted his desire to help the many new faces settle in while focusing on contributing on the pitch. Moyes emphasized Coleman's importance in delivering the club's values during this period of significant change and praised his role in supporting the team through difficult times. The captain's longevity and record appearances—369 Premier League games for Everton—underscore his deep connection to the club. Everton is also looking to secure new contracts for other key players, including defender Jarrad Branthwaite and midfielder Idrissa Gueye, as they prepare for a new era.
