Club captain Seamus Coleman has been speaking on his future and his pride from this season after being offered a new one-year deal by Everton
Club captain Seamus Coleman believes he has a duty to help Everton while he can and admits he'll know when it's time to quit as he mulls over a new one-year contract.
The Republic of Ireland international said: "As has been said by the club, I've been offered something but it's not something that I've sat down and considered deeply just yet. For me, the games are always the most-important and it was important to get these couple of games out of the way. Coleman broke his former team-mate Tim Howard's club record for Premier League appearances this season and following the 2-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium now stands on 364, some 10 more than the retired USA international goalkeeper. Having reached 422 in all competitions for Everton, the man from Killybegs, County Donegal, is now just a dozen matches shy of eclipsing Dixie Dean and knocking the club's greatest goalscorer out of the top 10.
"At the minute I know I'm not going to be up and down the wing and I'm not going to be playing 38 games a season but I also know the value I bring to the dressing room because I live in the city, I understand what the football club means and I can relay those messages to the players when the going gets tough.
