Tony Hibbert is delighted to be back in action for Everton.
Hibbert's recent appearances against Swansea City, Liverpool, FC Krasnodar and Manchester United means he has now strung four consecutive appearances together for the first time since April and May 2012.
"It's been good to get back out there playing," he declared to evertontv. "It's been a long time because I've had quite a few injuries and I've been trying to get back into the squad.
"The manager has shown some faith in me, given me a chance when the numbers were down and I'm happy with that.
"The manager stuck with me since Swansea really - I don't think I was supposed to play as many games as I have, but there were injuries so he stuck with me."
