Everton manager Sean Dyche has addressed the vital role Seamus Coleman plays for the club after the skipper signed a contract extension.
Blues captain Coleman has penned fresh terms for an extra year, which stretches his time at Goodison Park into a 15th season.
Coleman, 34, was a regular fixture of Dyche's teams until a medial knee ligament injury sustained away to Leicester City in May brought an early end to his campaign.
