Darron Gibson delighted with Everton role

Everton midfielder Darron Gibson has said that he is delighted with his role at the club.

The former Manchester United midfielder, who made the switch to Goodison Park over the winter, is expected to start against Liverpool in their FA Cup semi-final showdown this afternoon.

"It's nice to know that I was being rested [at Sunderland] for the big game," he told The Sun. "The complete opposite of how it was at United.

"It's surprised me how well it's gone because I wasn't sure. This was the first club I have moved to. I was at United since I was 15.

"I think I have settled in well. I've come here to start showing people how good I am."

Gibson has made eight appearances for Everton and scored one goal.
