I am very thankful for the opportunity and I can't wait to get started," the club's official website quoted Godfrey as saying.

"The aim for me at Everton is to win trophies and win games. I like to win. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I care and I am a passionate lad. The fans can guarantee they will get 110 per cent out of me when I am on the pitch," he added. (ANI)
