“It’s incredible to join Everton,” Coady told Everton’s official website.

“As soon as I heard the interest, from the manager but also the football club itself, I really wanted to be part of it straight away. I’m over the moon to join.

“I’ve grown up around the city, I know the football club, how big this club is and what it means to the supporters. I’m someone who was desperate to come here, to play for this club. I’ve got family and friends who are massive Evertonians.

“I’m here to give absolutely everything I’ve got for this football club. It’s important I work as hard as I can to help my team-mates, help the club move forward and make people proud.”

Over the five seasons, Coady was involved in 196 of the possible 198 league games.

The 29-year-old, who will wear the number 30 shirt for the Blues, is the club’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window after the arrivals of fellow centre back James Tarkowski, former Wolves team-mate Ruben Vinagre and forward Dwight McNeil.
