Captain has been offered coaching role at club
Coleman may continue playing elsewhere
Séamus Coleman will end his distinguished 17-year career with Everton when his contract expires next month, but he has yet to decide whether his playing days are over.
The Everton captain, famously signed for £60,000 from Sligo Rovers in January 2009, has been hampered by injuries in recent years and has announced that this season will be his last as a player with the club. Everton have offered the 37-year-old a coaching role but he is considering continuing with another club and with the Republic of Ireland.
Coleman has made 433 appearances for Everton, including a club-record 372 in the Premier League. He will overtake the legendary William Ralph “Dixie” Dean and Leon Osman into 10th place on the club’s all-time appearance list should he feature in the final home game of the season, against Sunderland on Sunday.
