James Tarkowski has committed his future to Everton by signing a new two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Club until June 2028.
Since joining the Blues from Burnley on a free transfer in the summer of 2022, the 32-year-old has established himself as a vital part of the team, making 128 appearances across all competitions and serving as vice-captain.
After signing his new deal, Tarkowski expressed his pride in representing Everton’s “proud and honest” supporters and outlined his optimism for what lies ahead as the Club enters a new era.
“I’m super excited and proud to be an Everton player and to continue this journey,” Tarkowski told evertontv.
“It’s been a crazy few years with some big lows and some massive highs. We’ve managed to get through those tough times and hopefully now we’re on to more positive and exciting times ahead.
“I think the intention has been set out from the start of this season.
“I’ve loved every minute so far of working under the manager [David Moyes]. He has made it clear where we’re going with this club. The results and performances have really improved in his time here and it does seem to be going in one direction.”
“The reason I’ve signed is because I want to be a part of that. Now it’s up to us as players to get on board and take us in that direction.”
