Phil Jagielka Signs One-Year Contract Extension With Everton
The new deal will see England defender Phil Jagielka remain at Goodison Park until the summer of 2018.
England defender Phil Jagielka has agreed a one-year extension to his contract with Everton that will see him remain at Goodison Park until the summer of 2018, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
"It's always nice to feel wanted. Being rewarded with the extra year gives me that motivation to keep striving to get better and to keep going for as long as possible," Jagielka, who has won 36 caps for England, told evertontv.
"I love it here, I want to stay here and thankfully enough the club felt the same. The contract was drawn up and I popped back after a little holiday to sign it. Now I look forward to getting back for pre-season," added the 32-year-old central defender, who joined the Toffees from Sheffield United eight years ago for £4million (5.6m euros, $6.4m).
