Everton star James Garner has signed a new four-and-a-half year deal to extend his stay with the club. He’s been a standout performer for the Toffees this season and told evertontv: “I’m really excited to commit my future to Everton. 

“I’m very grateful for all the support and all the love I’ve had over the past three-and-a-half years, but it’s just the start. 

“I’ve seen the progress we’ve made recently. Now I want to be part of that progress and get us back to where the Club deserves to be.

“I feel like I’m now a part of the Club and I’m hoping to be a part of it for a long time. 

“I’ve got family members who are all Evertonians, so I know exactly the passion and, like I’ve just said, what it means to play for such a massive football club like this.”

Everton boss David Moyes added: “We’re really pleased to have Jimmy commit his long-term future to Everton.

“He is a player who has developed hugely during his time at Everton. He’s taking on more responsibility and we’re now seeing a really important midfielder, with the versatility to play in other positions, as well as someone who is turning into a leader for us.

“He is still only 24 years of age, and we hope he will continue to progress while playing a big part in pushing us forward in the future.”
