After 17 unforgettable years, Seamus Coleman is hanging up his boots as an Everton player. The 37-year-old full-back has confirmed that when his contract expires at the end of this season, his playing days with the Toffees will come to a close.

A true club legend, Coleman joined Everton from Irish side Sligo Rovers in January 2009 for a mere £60,000—one of the best bargains in Premier League history. He was named club captain in 2019 and, in 2024, broke the club's Premier League appearance record, surpassing Tim Howard's 354 games. His top-flight tally now stands at an impressive 372 appearances, with 22 goals and 24 assists.

Everton have offered Coleman a coaching role, but the Republic of Ireland international says he'll take time over the summer to decide his next move. His final home game will be against Sunderland this Sunday—a fitting send-off for a player who has given his heart and soul to the blue shirt.

"After more than 17 years at this great football club, I've decided this season will be my last as a player here," Coleman said. For fans, it's the end of an era, but his legacy as one of Everton's finest servants will never fade.
