Jordan Pickford finalises new long-term Everton contract | OneFootball

Sky Sports has confirmed that Jordan Pickford (31) has signed a new long-term contract, extending his stay at Goodison Park as the club continues to build toward a new era of stability and ambition.

Now in his ninth season with the Toffees, Pickford has become both a cornerstone of Everton’s side and England’s undisputed No.1, maintaining exceptional consistency amid the club’s recent relegation battles. His decision to commit his future is seen as a major statement of faith in Everton’s direction under David Moyes, who has overseen a notable upturn in form since returning to the dugout.

Sources close to the club suggest Pickford feels “happy, settled and optimistic” about the project taking shape on Merseyside. Everton’s hierarchy believe the 31-year-old could feasibly spend the remainder of his top-flight career at the club.

The mood around Goodison Park has shifted dramatically in recent months, buoyed by the progress of the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, fresh ownership, and an ambitious summer transfer window headlined by the arrival of Jack Grealish.

Everton will look to continue their resurgence when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City on Saturday.
