Jordan Pickford extends Everton deal until 2029
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has signed a new four-year contract extension, securing his stay at the club until 2029. The 31-year-old England international, who has been the Toffees’ first-choice goalkeeper for nearly a decade, aims to solidify his legacy at Goodison Park with this long-term commitment.
Pickford’s new deal extends his association with Everton to 12 years, reflecting mutual confidence between player and club. While financial terms were not disclosed, the contract underscores Everton’s intent to build stability around key players as part of manager David Moyes’ squad restructuring. Pickford joined Everton in 2017 and has since made 326 appearances, earning 80 caps for England exclusively during his time with the club.
In an exclusive statement to Everton TV, Pickford expressed his enthusiasm about the extension: “I’m delighted to get it done — it’s an extra two years, so four years in total. It shows the commitment I’ve made to Everton and the faith the club has put in me. This deal gives me the chance to build a legacy here and help move the club forward.” He also referenced Everton legend Neville Southall as a benchmark for his ambitions.
A goalkeeper known for his composure under pressure, shot-stopping ability, and leadership from the back, Pickford is a central figure in Moyes’ tactical setup. His consistency and experience provide the defensive foundation Everton seeks to improve results in the Premier League. This contract follows recent renewals by defenders James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite, all crucial to Moyes’ vision of a resilient squad.
Pickford’s extension is significant in Everton’s broader strategy to invest in core players capable of anchoring the team through a rebuild phase. For Pickford, it represents a commitment to remain a pivotal figure at a club where he has developed and established his international reputation.
The new deal solidifies Everton’s goalkeeping position and provides Pickford with the platform to continue evolving his game, aiming to leave an enduring mark on the club’s future.
