Jarrad Branthwaite Sign New Everton Contract
Everton defender, Jarrad Branthwaite has signed a four-year contract extension with the Premier League side. He will play for the club until June 2027.
Branthwaite, 21, moved to Goodison Park from Carlisle in January 2020 and had loan spells at Blackburn and PSV Eindhoven before establishing himself in the Toffees first-team this season.
“Since I joined, I’ve felt a connection with the club,” said Branthwaite.
“The stature of the club, how much of a family it is at Everton, and how I just love playing here in front of the fans were key reasons for my signing.
“To sign this new contract was to show the commitment I have for the club and show how much it means to me to play for Everton.“
Branthwaite made his Toffees debut as an 18-year-old in July 2020 and has gone on to make 17 appearances.
He has started six of Everton’s nine matches so far this season after returning from a successful loan spell at PSV last campaign, where he played 36 times and won the Dutch Cup.
“Jarrad is an excellent player with huge potential and his new contract is richly deserved after the way he has played for us so far this season, having gained key experience on loan at PSV last term,” said Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell.
“It is a great boost for Everton to have a young player with Jarrad’s talent commit his long-term future to the club.“
