Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, who rose to prominence with the New York Metrostars [now Red Bulls] before moving to England with Manchester United, is happy to have now made Goodison Park his home.

"Things just kept happening year after year," he said. "But now, in my third season with Everton, I can look back on just what a wild ride it's been.

"And, to be honest, I am pleased with where I am right now, with my development and the level I'm at."
