Jarrad Branthwaite has committed his long-term future to Everton. The young defender has signed a new five-year contract with the club.

The centre-back was the subject of two failed bids from Manchester United last summer and has been attracting interest again early in the summer window. However, the Blues have secured a significant coup in keeping him tied down until 2030.

Branthwaite was named as the club's Young Player of the Year for 2024-25, having won the same award and the Player of the Year gong for 2023-24 after an excellent breakthrough season.

Join Ian Croll, Tony Scott and Paul Wheelock as they discuss today’s breaking news and the positive impact that will have on Everton moving forward.
