Moyes signs new deal at Everton

Everton manager David Moyes has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2009.

The 41-year-old Scot has steered the Toffees to third place in the Barclays Premiership table despite last season’s narrow escape from relegation and the summer sale of star striker Wayne Rooney to Manchester United.

Moyes succeeded Walter Smith at Goodison Park in March 2002 after leaving Preston.
