Seamus Coleman Commits To Everton With New Contract For Final Season At Goodison

Seamus Coleman has committed to another year with Everton, signing a new one-year deal. The club captain, who joined from Sligo Rovers in January 2009, will play in Everton's final season at Goodison Park. Coleman has made a record 364 Premier League appearances for Everton, with only 12 players having more appearances across all competitions (422).

The 35-year-old full-back, appointed skipper in 2019, expressed his excitement about continuing with the club. "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."

Reflecting on the upcoming season, Coleman acknowledged the significance of Goodison Park. "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," he added.

Everton head coach Sean Dyche praised Coleman's contributions since becoming manager. "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," Dyche said. "He is a model professional and helps set standards, and his leadership is rightly admired by everyone."

Dyche highlighted Coleman's experience as an asset for the team. "His vast experience and know-how on the pitch will continue to be valuable qualities for us in the season ahead," he noted.

As Everton prepares for their final campaign at Goodison Park, Coleman's leadership and dedication will be pivotal. The upcoming season holds emotional significance for both Coleman and Everton fans as they bid farewell to their historic home ground.
