Arabic version: شيموس كولمان يعتزل اللعب بعد 17 عامًا في إيفرتون

Seamus Coleman has announced he will finish his Everton playing career at the end of the season, when his contract expires after 17 years at the club. The 37-year-old full-back has been offered a coaching role with the Toffees, but says he will decide his future over the summer.

According to BBC News, Coleman joined Everton from Irish side Sligo Rovers in January 2009 for just £60,000. He was named club captain in 2019 and recently broke the club’s Premier League appearance record in 2024, surpassing former goalkeeper Tim Howard’s tally of 354. His top-flight record now stands at 372 games, with 22 goals and 24 assists.

Coleman expressed his sentiment about leaving the club, stating, “After more than 17 years at this great football club, I’ve decided this season will be my last as a player here.” His final home game will be against Sunderland on Sunday.
