Phil Jagielka signs new Everton deal

Everton captain Phil Jagielka has signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until the summer of 2018.

The England international has made almost 300 appearances for the Merseyside outfit since his switch from Sheffield United in 2007.

This is what the 32-year-old had to say on the contract extension : "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."
