Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has signed a new contract at Everton

London (AFP) - England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has signed a new four-year contract at Everton, the Premier League club announced on Thursday.

The 31-year-old has made 326 appearances for the club since joining from Sunderland in 2017.

His contract had been due to expire at the end of the ²⁰²⁶⁄₂₇ season.

“I’m delighted,” Pickford told evertontv. “Delighted to get it done – it’s an extra two years, so four years in total.

“I’m over the moon and it gives me the opportunity to build a legacy for myself here, move forward and build this club to where we want to be.

“Everton is a really special club to me. Coming from Sunderland as a young lad and growing into a man here, it’s been a special time for me and my family.”
