Everton veteran Ashley Young has no plans to retire at the end of the season.

The former Manchester United and Aston Villa ace signed for Sean Dyche's team this summer.

Young, who plays primarily as a full-back at this stage of his career, is still committed to playing on for the coming years.

“I've come to a massive club in Everton," said Young to Everton's official media channels.

"I spoke to the manager, who wanted me at Burnley previously, before coming here and from the moment I walked in the door here I saw for myself and felt a togetherness from the players and the staff. It's real.

“I know what the manager wants to achieve here. You look back at Everton teams over the years and we have to get back to competing at a higher level.

“Obviously, the past two years haven't gone that way and it's a transitional period for us and a lot of teams, but the way the manager spoke and the way the players are here, that's what we need to get back to."
