Everton captain Seamus Coleman has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2023.
The 32-year-old Republic of Ireland right-back, who had entered the final 12 months of his existing deal, has been at the club since arriving from Sligo Rovers for £60,000 in 2009.
"I'm very happy - everyone around the football club and I'm sure all the fans know how much this club has meant to me from day one," Coleman told evertontv.
"It's a massive honour to extend my time here. It was about getting my head down and to keep working hard like I've always done, and the club decided to reward me with that. It's something I'm very happy with."
Earlier this month Coleman had opened up on his desire to go into coaching once he hangs up his boots but insisted he had no "God-given right" to expect to walk into such a role wither with Everton or his former club Sligo.
"I feel it'd be quite arrogant of me to feel I could just go into Sligo Rovers as a coach or go into Everton as a coach considering there’s been people working ten, 15 years [at those clubs] gaining experience," he said
"That’s the aim, to be successful as a coach at some point in my life after football. I couldn’t say where that will be and only time will tell if I’ll be good enough to get to that level.
"I'm planning for the next stage of my life after football. I'm doing my coaching badges and I'll see where that brings me."
