Everton trio Phil Jagielka, Joseph Yobo and Tim Howard have all put pen to paper on new extended contracts with the club.

Defenders Jagielka and Yobo had both agreed new five-year deals before last weekend's FA Cup Final defeat, while goalkeeper Howard has followed suit this week.

USA international Howard has been rewarded after breaking Neville Southall's 13-year-old club record for league clean sheets after claiming 16 this season.

"It's great that three valuable members of the squad have committed themselves to the club for a lengthy period," manager David Moyes told the club's official website.

"Tim, Phil and Joseph have been big players for us over the last few years and it's great news that they will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

"I have been pleased with the way we've gone about our business.

"We spoke to Phil, Tim and Joseph and we got everything done and dusted efficiently and quietly, which is the way we like things to be done."
