Toffees manager Roberto Martinez revealed his delight at the player commiting his future to the club.

 

"It is fantastic news," He said. "To have Tim Howard performing as he has been this season, I cannot see past him to choose the best goalkeeper in the league."

 

"For him, in such an important year with the World Cup around the corner, to commit his future for the long term is an incredible moment for the dressing room."

 

Everton are currently 5th in the Premier League.
