Garner Extends Everton Commitment Until June 2030

New Deal Announcement

James Garner has officially agreed to a new contract with Everton, which will see him remain with the club until June 2030.

Player Profile

The 24-year-old midfielder made his move to the Toffees from Manchester United in 2022. This season, Garner has been a fixture in the starting lineup, participating in every match across all competitions. He has successfully netted three goals and provided three assists thus far.

Contract Situation

With his previous contract set to expire in the summer, rumors circulated regarding a potential return to Manchester United late last year, especially following the departure of head coach Ruben Amorim.

Season Objectives

Garner expressed Everton’s ambition for the current season, stating, “Our goal as a club, as well as players and staff, should be to aim for nothing less than securing a position in Europe.” He shared these thoughts during an interview with Everton TV.

Current Standings

Everton currently occupies the 10th position in the Premier League, trailing four points behind their local rivals, Liverpool, who sit in fourth. The team is preparing to face Leeds at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday.

Background

Garner started his journey in football by joining Manchester United’s youth academy at the young age of eight. He progressed through the ranks, making a handful of appearances for the first team before his transfer to Everton.

Since David Moyes’ return as Everton’s manager last January, Garner has established himself as a critical figure in the midfield. As of this season, he leads the league in combined tackles (64), interceptions (32), and key passes (27), totaling an impressive 123.

Garner commented, “The manager’s trust in me and the roles he assigns align perfectly with my playing style. His impact has been significant since his return.”
