Jordan Pickford Signs New Four-Year Everton Deal, Aims to Build Legacy Like Club Legend Neville Southall
England’s number one goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, has pledged his long-term future to Everton, signing a new four-year contract that will keep him at Goodison Park until at least 2029.
The Premier League club confirmed the news on Thursday, marking another major step in their plans to secure key players ahead of a crucial new era.
Pickford, 31, had two years remaining on his previous deal but has now extended his stay beyond his 35th birthday, a sign of his commitment to helping the Toffees fight for European qualification and end their long-running trophy drought.
Since joining Everton from Sunderland in 2017, Pickford has become one of the club’s most consistent performers, racking up 326 appearances in all competitions.

Speaking to evertontv, Pickford expressed his pride and ambition following the contract extension:
“I’m delighted to get it done – it’s an extra two years, so four years in total. I’m over the moon, and it gives me the opportunity to build a legacy for myself here, move forward, and build this club to where we want to be.”

He added:
“Everton is a really special club to me. Coming from Sunderland as a young lad and growing into a man here, it’s been a special time for me and my family.”
Pickford also shared his dream of joining the ranks of Everton’s greatest goalkeepers, including Neville Southall, widely regarded as the club’s finest ever shot-stopper.
With his new deal secured, Pickford will now focus on helping Everton climb back up the Premier League table and, perhaps, finally bring silverware back to Goodison Park.
Another key figure commits to the Blues. 🤝
