Everton captain Seamus Coleman has said the love for the club informed his decision to prolong his stay with the Toffees after signing a one-year contract.
The republic of Ireland player has been at the club for the last 14 years, making him the longest-serving player in the current squad.
"Everyone knows how much Everton means to me which is why it is special to sign this new contract and continue to play for this great club," said Coleman.
Coleman, 34, is still recovering from a knee injury he sustained in May.
He has made 68 appearances for Ireland at senior level since 2011.
The former Sligo Rovers player has made 409 appearances for Everton since 2009. He was appointed club captain in 2019.
"From the moment I joined more than 14 years ago, the support my family and I have had from our fans has been amazing. I never take it for granted just how fortunate I am to represent Everton. Wearing the captain's armband has been an honour," he added.
Coleman had a loan stint with Blackpool in 2010.
