Jags Signs

Phil Jagielka has agreed a two-year extension to his existing deal, tying him to Everton until the summer of 2017.

Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: “Phil is a hugely important and influential player and I, like many Evertonians, look forward to seeing him play in a Blue shirt for many years to come.”

“In signing a new contract, Jagielka will follow in the footsteps of defensive cohort Seamus Coleman, who last week agreed his own long-term deal with the Club.”
