Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite has signed a new long-term deal that will keep him on Merseyside until 2030, the club said on Wednesday, after media reports that the Englishman had drawn interest from some of the Premier League's heavyweight sides.

Everton have got a major boost as Jarrad Branthwaite has committed his future to the club by signing a new five-year contract. The England international defender was the subject of two bids from Manchester United last summer, which Everton rejected, and they have demonstrated their determination to keep the 23-year-old by tying him down until 2030.
