Jarrad Branthwaite wants to win silverware at Everton
Speaking to Everton’s website, Branthwaite admitted he’s really motivated to win silverware with the Toffees.
“We want to keep making progress and, ultimately, deliver success,” the 23-year-old stated.
“I’ve been here for six years and I’ve seen a lot in that time but it all feels genuinely positive right now. Long may it continue.

Branthwaite added that he believes Moyes can deliver that level of success over the next two seasons.
“This isn’t a team or a club that will be fighting against relegation any more, we want success.
“I feel like the way the Club is going, the way the manager is trying to build a team, build an identity, we can definitely achieve that in the next couple of years.”
The England international also said he feels he can get even better as he matures and learns his position on a deeper level.
“I am 23 years old now and I think I’ve still got loads more to go in terms of my levels.
“People ask me how far I think I am off my best after the injury but, honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever reached my ‘best’ yet, because I’ve got plenty of years to reach my prime.
“I will keep learning, keep pushing myself and do everything I can to help this team.”
