Everything we know about Everton star's contract after latest injury layoff

Everton are once again without Jarrad Branthwaite due to injury.

The one-cap England international has been a star ever since breaking through into the first team at Goodison Park in 2023.

A loan move to PSV helped him step up into senior football, although fitness problems have taken their toll on his career.

The 23-year-old has missed out on the majority of the current campaign after picking up an injury in pre-season that ruled him out for nearly five months.

Branthwaite is now ruled out at Everton once again, as we now round up what we know about his deal at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

What is Jarrad Branthwaite’s contract situation at Everton?

The former Carlisle United youngster has long been linked with a move away from L3, given his consistent performance level over the years.

He has been a rock at the heart of defence for the Blues, forming a useful partnership with James Tarkowski since his introduction.

That only makes it all the more frustrating that the Englishman was forced off in the latest derby clash with Liverpool.

The defender came off with 87 minutes on the clock and won’t be seen again this season after just 7 Premier League starts.

That doesn’t represent good value for his reported £120,000 per week wage and yearly salary in the region of £6.2million.

The biggest plus for the Toffees right now is that the injured star has another four years on his current deal after penning an agreement in the summer that lasts until 2030.

Branthwaite is in a cycle of misery at Everton with injury, and there will hopefully be some light at the end of the tunnel for him.

Branthwaite set for yet another injury lay-off at Everton

The number 32 has never truly managed to stay fit for a prolonged period without going back to the treatment table.

That has been consistent throughout his senior career on Merseyside and beyond after facing 11 separate injuries at 23.

Branthwaite missed 55 games now for Everton, with his latest problem set to rule him out for many weeks, likely to be deep into the summer.

Going against Liverpool could result in a worst-case scenario and once again damage his pre-season preparations.

The only advantage of this entire situation is that his contract is solid at Everton.
