With the end of his previous Goodison deal set to expire, the Irish international has recently been heavily linked with a move to Wigan but the 33-year-old has signed a new 12-month deal to squash such rumours.
Having played a key role in Everton's UEFA Cup qualification by making 42 appearances, the news will undoubtedly be greeted with delight from Evertonians.
Carsley: "I am absolutely delighted to be honest. I have had a fantastic time here and hopefully that can continue now. Myself and the gaffer sat down two or three months ago and he said he wanted me to stay and I said I wanted to stay as well. I am just glad we have come to an agreement. We have got the UEFA Cup to look forward to next season. The manager has got the right blend at the minute and that is important."
