Everton captain Seamus Coleman is happy to have signed a new deal.

Coleman, 34, will remain with Everton for another 12 months.

He told the club website: “I had a bit of thinking time this time round, which is different to the usual ones, but it is hard to walk away from something you love. This is my club and I love it.

“You always hope for better, and the last couple of years haven't been great, but I will always believe that things can get better. The manager has come in and the lads went to the wire but showed good mentality towards the end of the season in certain games - Wolves away, Leicester away - getting points that were important.

"I'm sure with a pre-season under this manager, when he gets his own style across to us and what he wants and changes in the mentality of the group and hopefully changes in the mentality of people around the training ground as well, that we can get better."
