Coleman to stick with Toffees for four more years

REPUBLIC Of Ireland U21 international Seamus Coleman yesterday agreed a four-year contract extension with Everton.

The Donegal native has been on loan at Blackpool since March and has helped guide the Ian Holloway managed team to the Championship play-off final, where they take on Cardiff City on Saturday for a place in the Premier League.

Beforehand, the former Sligo Rovers defender played seven times for Everton, with his most eye-catching performance being his man-of-the-match display in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in December.
