Tim Howard joined the Blues from Manchester United on a season-long loan deal in the summer of 2006.
The USA international goalkeeper had found himself down the pecking order at Old Trafford, following the acquisition of Dutchman Edwin van der Sar in 2005.
Having joined United in 2003, Howard went on to make 77 appearances for the Red Devils.
Previously, Howard had kept goal for the New York/New Jersey Metrostars and won his first international cap in March 2002 against Ecuador.
A series of solid performances earned Howard a five-year contract with the Blues in February 2007, keeping 14 clean sheets and helping Everton into the UEFA cup in his first season.
Howard was one of the stars of the USA team which retained the CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2007.
