Encyclopedic overview
Séamus Coleman (/ˈʃeɪməs ˈkoʊlmən/ SHAY-məs KOHL-mən; born 11 October 1988) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for and captains both Premier League club Everton and the Republic of Ireland national team. He will become a free agent on 30 June 2026.
Originally a Gaelic footballer, Coleman started his association football career with St Catherine's in Killybegs. He joined League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers in 2006 after impressing in a friendly against them. He then made the move to England to sign for Everton in January 2009 for a £60,000 fee. In 2010, he spent half a season on loan with Blackpool, helping them win promotion via the Championship play-offs, before returning to Everton where he has made over 400 appearances as of December 2025. He will depart Everton following the expiration of his contract in the summer of 2026.
