Everton Midfielder James Garner Signs Deal Until 2030

Everton midfielder James Garner has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract, committing his future to the club until June 2030. The 24-year-old, who joined from Manchester United in the summer of 2022, has emerged as a key figure in the team's midfield, starting every match across all competitions this season.

The announcement came on Friday evening, rewarding Garner's consistent performances amid interest from several Premier League clubs, including his former side Manchester United. Everton, currently 10th in the Premier League table after a recent victory over Aston Villa, view the extension as a vital step in building stability during their ongoing rebuild.

Garner, born in Birkenhead and a product of Manchester United's academy where he made seven senior appearances, has made 109 outings for Everton since his arrival, contributing five goals and seven assists. This season alone, he has netted twice and provided three assists, while demonstrating versatility by playing in midfield and both fullback positions. His influence was evident in the win against Aston Villa, where he won possession 14 times, the highest by an Everton player in a league game since March 2024.
