Séamus Coleman signs one-year contact extension at Everton
Everton
captain
Séamus Coleman
has signed a one-year contract extension, saying on Friday that the chance to lead the club into their new stadium was a key reason to continue.
The 36-year-old Republic of Ireland defender signed the deal just three days before his previous contract expired. He was forced off in the first half of Everton's final game at Goodison Park last month with a thigh injury and missed Ireland's draws with Senegal and Luxembourg. He is expected to be fit in time for next season.
'Thanks to the hard work of many people, we've been able to get into our magnificent new stadium and pave the way for a brighter future under ambitious new owners [Friedkin Group], which I want to be part of,' Coleman said in a statement.
Coleman joined the Merseyside club from Sligo Rovers in 2009 during David Moyes's first spell as manager. Moyes joined for a second spell in January, guiding Everton to a 13th-place finish.

'In David Moyes, we have the perfect manager to lead us into a new era. He showed his abilities once again with the way he had us playing after returning last season.
'As the man who brought me to Everton, I can't speak highly enough of him. He gets this football club, the standards required every day, and what it means to play for Everton.'
Coleman holds the club record for most
Premier League
appearances (369) and is joint 12th on Everton's all-time list with 428 matches in all competitions, just five behind Dixie Dean and Leon Osman.
'This could be a period of real change at the club and I want somebody who can help deliver the messages of what it means to be an Everton footballer. Séamus has always done that and I know he will continue to do so as we move into a new era,' Moyes said.
Everton begin their league campaign away at Leeds United on August 18th.

Leicester face battle to find a manager to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy amid points deduction fears

Former Wolves boss Gary O'Neil and ex-Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick are also on Leicester's radar. However, club chiefs will find it tough to persuade any potential candidate to accept what increasingly appears to be a poisoned chalice. The Foxes seem to be in freefall and have a potential points deduction hanging over them in the Championship as Prem bosses READ MORE LEICESTER NEWS Meanwhile, the club's main backers, King Power , have been plunged into a financial crisis and are feared to be on the brink of collapse after running up eye-watering losses of £450million.

The 35-year-old former wideman told SunSport: 'Most clubs are prepared for the worst now. 'They sack their manager in the morning and by the afternoon they've got someone else in charge. 'But it will be hard for Leicester to get someone in with a potential points deduction hanging over the club. 'Any new manager will be conscious of that and won't want to commit until they know what they're dealing with. 7 Title-winner Marc Albrighton exclusively opened up about his fears to SunSport Credit: Getty 'The fans will be expecting an early appointment, given the length of time the board must have known Ruud was going. 'But I wouldn't be too hasty with a new appointment. 'I'd be really thorough because they MUST get this appointment right. 'They obviously went through two major managerial changes last season, and they won't want to go through that again. 'They'll want a manager who is hopefully going to be there for quite a while. So I wouldn't be rushing too much into it if I was them." 7 Jamie Vardy and Albrighton won the Premier League, FA Cup and Championship together at Leciester Credit: Getty
