Tim Howard: 'Everton future is bright'

Departing Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard insists that the club has a "bright future" despite a disappointing 2015-16 campaign.

Departing Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has predicted a "bright future" for the club despite a disappointing 2015-16 campaign.

The Toffees ended the season with a 3-0 victory over Norwich City on Sunday as Howard kept a clean sheet in the final game of his 10-year spell with the club.

However, they have underachieved for much of the campaign, resulting in Roberto Martinez being sacked last week, but Howard believes that whoever comes in will have the tools to turn things around at the club.

"The guy who comes in and manages this team is sitting on a goldmine. The future is bright. Those boys played well. I didn't have that kind of wherewithal or talent at their age so I was excited to see them play," the 37-year-old told reporters.

"With the passion in this city for this club and the talent that's on display, the sky's the limit for this team. It's been a tough week, it was tough seeing Roberto go. Any time a manager gets sacked, you have to look inward. We have to take a ton of responsibility on our shoulders.

"We came out, we responded. I thought we played well. There was an intent in our play and, in a difficult season for us, you could see in the fans' faces and hear it in their voices, they were excited about this team."

Howard will now join MLS side Colorado Rapids.
