Centre-back Phil Jagielka has committed to Everton until 2018 with a new one-year contract extension.
The England international, now captain of the Toffees, has made almost 300 appearances for Everton since joining them from Sheffield United in 2007.
Speaking about his new contract, Jagielka told the club website: "It wasn't the longest negotiations ever – it only took a couple of minutes rather than hours.
"I love it here, I want to stay here and thankfully enough the club felt the same.
"The contract was drawn up and I popped back after a little holiday to sign it. Now I look forward to getting back for pre-season."
Jagielka recently cleaned up at the club's end-of-season awards, winning Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season and Best Goal for his last-gasp equaliser in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield.
