Everton boss Martinez tribute to 300-game Jagielka

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has paid tribute to captain Phil Jagielka.

Jagielka will make his 300th appearance for the club at Swansea City on Saturday.

"He's a player, that plays with a lot of experience but with the enjoyment of a young player," Martinez told the Liverpool Echo.

“When you see Jags around the pitch he is always trying to help the younger players and trying to open up his responsibilities.

“Three hundred games is an incredible landmark but you still feel that there they are many, many seasons ahead of Phil Jagielka."
