Séamus Coleman to finish as Everton player at end of season after 17-year stay

• Captain has been offered coaching role at club

• Coleman may continue playing elsewhere

Séamus Coleman will end his distinguished 17-year career with Everton when his contract expires next month, but he has yet to decide whether his playing days are over.

The Everton captain, famously signed for £60,000 from Sligo Rovers in January 2009, has been hampered by injuries in recent years and has announced that this season will be his last as a player with the club. Everton have offered the 37-year-old a coaching role from this summer but he is considering continuing with another club and with the Republic of Ireland.
