Michael Keane has signed a new one-year contract with Everton – the third defender to agree fresh terms in the past week after Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Branthwaite.
The 32-year-old has made 230 appearances for the Blues, scoring 16 goals, after joining from Burnley in 2017.
“The manager wants a competitive squad and I still feel I have a lot to give,” said Keane.
“We’ve been through a difficult few years but it’s an exciting time ahead for us as players and our brilliant fans.
“We’ve got a world-class new stadium to play in, and our form under the manager last season shows there’s a lot of reasons to be positive. I’m looking forward to being part of it.”
Manager David Moyes added: “His performances at Fulham and Newcastle at the end of last season showed the value he can bring to our squad. We will need his experience and professionalism as we go forward.”
