English defender, Michael Keane has put pen to paper on a one-year deal at Everton – the centre-back will stay at the Goodison Park until 2026.
According to the Club’s official website: “Michael Keane has signed a new one-year Everton contract until the end of June 2026.
“The centre-back’s deal will extend his time with the Blues into a ninth season, having joined from Burnley in July 2017.
“During that time, Keane has made 230 Blues appearances, 197 of them in the Premier League, placing him 17th on the Club’s all-time list.
“The 32-year-old defender has a knack in front of goal, too, netting 16 times for the Toffees. Keane, who started his career at Manchester United, earned nine of his 12 England caps while with the Blues, scoring in a 5-1 EURO qualifying win over Montenegro in March 2019.”
After signing his new Toffees deal, Keane expressed his “love” for the club, and his delight after extending his contract.
Keane told the Club’s official website: “I love Everton and have been massively proud to play for this club since the day I joined so I’m delighted to extend my stay here.
“The manager wants a competitive squad and I still feel I have a lot to give to Everton.
“We’ve been through a difficult few years but it’s an exciting time ahead for us as players and our brilliant fans.
“We’ve got a world-class new stadium to play in, and our form under the manager last season shows there’s a lot of reasons to be positive. I’m looking forward to being part of it.”
Head Coach, David Moyes, said: “We are pleased Michael has agreed to stay with us. His performances at Fulham and Newcastle at the end of last season showed the value he can bring to our squad.”
