Everton have announced a new five-year deal with Umbro, who will replace Nike as the Merseyside club's kit manufacturer.

The deal, which begins from next season, will be the fourth time that Umbro have made the Everton kit after stints from 1974-83, 1986-00 and 2004-09.

They claimed to produce "unique" on-pitch and training gear for the men's, women's and academy teams.

"Everyone at the club is not only delighted, but excited, to be back wearing the Umbro diamond next season," said manager Roberto Martinez.

Umbro does not currently make a kit for any of the 20 Premier League clubs.
