Everton have secured the services of goalkeeper Mark Travers with a four-year contract extending until the end of June 2029.

The 26-year-old Republic of Ireland international joins the Blues from Bournemouth, where he spent nine years following his 2016 signing.

Speaking to evertontv after committing to the Blues, Travers said, “I’m extremely proud and excited to be an Everton player. Coming in, you can feel how big this club is and the history that comes with it. You really feel that with the fanbase, the new stadium now as well and the direction the Club is going in.

“It’s a fresh start for me to come up here and try a new chapter in my career.

“It’s a really exciting time to be part of this massive football club and I just can’t wait to get going."

“It’s always really exciting to work with a new group and being able to help the younger lads as well. I’ll give it everything. I’ll take pride in doing the right things on and off the pitch and representing this club with a lot of pride."

Travers earned 82 appearances for the Cherries and gained further experience through loans at Weymouth, Swindon Town, Stoke City, and Middlesbrough. He was Middlesbrough’s No.1 for the second half of their 2024/25 Championship campaign, playing 20 league matches.

In addition to his club career, the Maynooth, Leinster-born goalkeeper became a senior international for the Republic of Ireland in September 2019, with four caps to his name. Travers made his senior international debut on 10 September 2019, starting in a 3–1 victory over Bulgaria at the Aviva Stadium.

Travers has represented Ireland from under-15 to under-19 youth levels and received his first senior national team call-up in March 2019 while with the under-21 squad. He was called up again to the Republic of Ireland senior squad in May 2019 for the 2020 European Qualifiers against Denmark and Gibraltar.

On his third acquisition of the summer transfer window – following the arrivals of midfielder Charly Alcaraz and striker Thierno Barry – manager David Moyes said, “We welcome Mark to Everton. With Asmir and Joao leaving the Club over the summer, we were looking for a goalkeeper with a level of experience to support Jordan.

“We are continuing to work on bringing in more players ahead of the start of the season."
