Everton Legend Hangs Up His Boots. Experienced Defender Ends Career After Years at the Club

Coleman has made a record 372 Premier League appearances for Everton, having been with the club since 2009, aside from a brief loan spell at Blackpool. However, due to injuries, he has featured in only 23 matches over the past three years. The club management has offered him a role within the "Toffees" coaching staff.

"When I first joined the reserves, I was just hoping to make it onto the bench once. To end up with a club record for Premier League appearances and the captain's armband at this fantastic club is something I never dreamed of," Coleman was quoted by AFP.
