Everton midfielder Wheeler signs new two-year deal | OneFootball

Everton midfielder Clare Wheeler has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Toffees this morning.

Wheeler joined Everton in summer 2022 on a loan deal from Danish club Fortuna Hjørring that was later made permanent. The 27-year-old Australian international midfielder has gone on to make 56 appearances for the club in the Barclays Women’s Super League. Wheeler is an important player for Everton and she has been handed the captain’s armband for the club’s last two games.

The player’s Everton career is going from strength-to-strength and she has now agreed to remain on Merseyside for two more years.

After extending her contract with The Toffees, Wheeler said “I feel really excited. It is great to have that trust from the manager to want me to stay and believe in me and this project that we have going on here. I really like this Club. I feel really at home here and I’m glad that I get to call it home for a bit longer.

“This team wants to strive for better. With the new owners coming in, there is a buzz around this team, and given our recent performances this year; it is seeing that there is a new chapter coming in.”

Wheeler could captain the team again when Everton travel to Anfield to contest a Merseyside derby with Liverpool on Sunday.
