Everton fullback Seamus Coleman is full of pride after making the PFA's Team of the Year.

The line-up is determined by votes from fellow professionals and Coleman said he felt privileged to have been nominated by his peers.

Coleman told evertonfc.com: "It's a massive honour. I suppose when the players have voted it means that bit more.

"It's obviously great to be recognised by the fans and the media but it's special when the players you play against week in and week out pick you in that XI. It's something special and if you ask a lot of players who get in that PFA team they will say the same thing.

"Even though it is a team game, it's always nice to get personal accolades and be mentioned, especially with some of the players that are in the team.

"I was always hopeful [of being included] but at the same time I thought [Pablo] Zabaleta at Manchester City and [Branislav] Ivanovic at Chelsea had good years. They kept a lot of clean sheets and scored a couple of goals."
