Everton sign Pickford to four-year deal until 2029

Everton confirmed on Thursday that goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has signed a new four-year contract that will keep the England international at the club until the end of June 2029. The 31-year-old put pen to paper at the club's Merseyside training ground after formal talks that extended his previous deal by two years.

Pickford, who joined Everton from Sunderland in 2017, has made 326 appearances for the club and has been a regular starter through a succession of managers. He has kept 91 clean sheets for the Toffees and has established himself as England's first-choice goalkeeper, earning 80 caps. During the October international break he recorded a run of nine consecutive clean sheets for England as the national team secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

On Everton's channel Pickford said he was pleased to commit his long-term future to the club. "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," he said. He also reflected on his time at Goodison Park, saying Everton had been "a special time" for him and his family and expressing optimism about the club's direction.
