Turner pledges future to Toffees

Last updated : 03 May 2007 By Andy Parsons

The Scottish stopper has penned a new four-year deal which will keep the player at Goodison Park until 2011 - ruling out any permanent switch in the summer.

Turner was terrific when he came to Hillsborough on loan and was part of the team who went 11 unbeaten as The Owls pushed for a late play-off spot.

But Everton boss David Moyes never doubted the player's potential and admitted Turner has a big future on Merseyside.


Turner told Everton's official site: "I did enjoy my spell there and first-team football is great but Everton is a very big club, they have offered me this contract and it is my ambition to become the number one here.


"I had a good experience with Wednesday but it is here that I want to make my mark and I am looking forward to doing that."


With Chris Adamson more than likely being released in the summer, Laws must find a new number one for next season as well as a competent back-up who will challenge the goalkeeper every step of the way.
