Howard has signed a five year deal that will start at the end of
the season.
Everton have made Tim Howard a permanent signing after agreeing an
undisclosed fee with Manchester United.
Howard has been a big hit at Everton since joining on loan last
summer, quickly establishing himself as first-choice goalkeeper and
keeping 11 clean sheets in his 27 appearances so far. He has now
agreed terms on a five-year deal which will begin when his loan
deal expires at the end of the season.
"The club share my ambition, that is for sure - the manager does
and so do the fans," said Howard after agreeing the deal. "I was
drawn to the club for a number of reasons and the players in the
dressing room are one of them."

Although the transfer window is currently shut, Premier League
rules permit domestic loan deals to be made permanent outside the
window.
"We are delighted to have Tim," added Everton manager David Moyes.
"He has come in this season and proved he is a good keeper and we
are pleased to have secured him."
