Duffy Signs New Contract

Defender, 20, signs contract until 2015.

Everton defender Shane Duffy has penned a new contract at the Club.

Duffy, 20, signed a three-year deal on Wednesday afternoon, keeping him at Goodison Park until 2015.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international made his Premier League debut last term, appearing on four subsequent occasions at the heart of the Blues' defence that season.

This season he played in the second half of Everton's 5-0 demolition of Leyton Orient as well as featuring for the Under-21s.

With the ink still drying on his new contract, Duffy told evertontv: "I'm delighted to get it done. It's taken a bit of time to get it sorted but I am happy now.

"I have been here for a while now and loved every minute of it. Now this is sorted I can focus on working hard and continuing to improve."
