Coleman Awarded Prestigious Honour

Seamus Coleman has received the Freedom of the County of Donegal.

The Everton defender was awarded the honour at a civic reception hosted by the Cathaoirleach - the chair of the senate - and members of Donegal County Council on Friday at the County House in Lifford.

Signed by Everton for just £60,000 in 2009, Coleman has become a mainstay in the Blues' line-up and is closing in on 250 appearances for the Club. He has also represented his country with distinction, and was named Republic of Ireland captain by Martin O’Neill in September 2016.
