Ireland defender Coleman signs five-year Everton deal

"With how much I love playing at Everton, I was delighted to get the chance to sign another contract," Coleman told the English Premier League club's website (www.evertonfc.com).

"I've been at Everton five years now and I love everything around the place. It was a very happy decision to make."

The 25-year-old Coleman, who joined from League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers in 2009, was voted the Goodison Park club's player of the season in 2013-14.
