Everton duo Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman have both pledged their long-term futures to the club after signing new contracts.
Both Hibbert and Osman progressed through the youth ranks at Goodison Park and have penned deals which run until summer 2012.
Right-back Hibbert has made almost 190 appearances since breaking into the first team during the 2000-01 campaign.
Meanwhile, midfielder Osman has made 174 appearances and scored 25 times.
"I'm made up that I'm here for another five years and I'm very happy to be here and carry on playing my football here," Hibbert told the club's official website.
"It's good to sign at the same time as Leon. We've grown up together and been playing for Everton for many years.
"It's good to see that we're still wanted at the club and it's a good thing that it's for five years."
