Mykolenko extends contract to 2029

Vitalii Mykolenko has signed a new three-year deal at Everton.

The defender was out of contract this summer but has now committed his future to the Toffees until June 2029. The 27-year-old has made 157 appearances since joining the club in January 2022 from Dynamo Kyiv.

“I feel excited to sign this new contract – very excited and proud,” Mykolenko told club media.

“In the first few years of my time here we were struggling, but our team as a family, every person in the building gave everything to get through it. What we have now is stronger and we are getting better every season.

“For me, it’s most important to feel confident and feel comfortable in the environment and I have that here, so I’m really happy.”
