Everton secures future with new deal for defender Samuels-Smith

Samuels-Smith has inked a fresh deal that extends his contract through 2026.

“I’m very excited,” Samuels-Smith told evertontv after signing his pro deal. “It’s probably one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.

"I want to be playing first-team football to the best ability that I can. I want to be breaking into that squad and starting regularly. 

“(Playing at the new stadium) would mean everything. At my age, as well, it would be such a great feeling.”
