Oviedo has made 11 appearances this season and started the last three games, which the Blues have all won 3-0.The Costa Rica international was out of contract in the summer but triggered a 12 month extension. But Everton boss Roberto Martinez wanted to tie Oviedo down to a longer-term deal and the left-back has signed on until June 2019.
Oviedo said: “I am really happy to commit my future to Everton because this is a special club and, for me, a second home.
“When I experienced some really tough times, the toughest of my career, everybody was behind me – the manager, the staff, the players and the fans and that support helped me through and made me stronger, as a person and as a player.
“I feel that I am in the best moment of my career. I am experienced now. When I first came here I was 22 years old and now I am 25 … 26 next week! I have greater confidence and I have a real ambition to win a trophy for Everton.
“We have clear goals as a team. We want to win a Cup and we want to continue building ourselves into a top Premier League team.
“The manager is clear that he wants to build a winning team and I want to play my part in this because he has helped me to progress my career by believing in me.
“Everton is an incredible club and the people here are fantastic. Every day is a joy to come to work and to try to improve as an individual and as a team. I’m really happy to be a part of this and my ambition is that we are successful in the years to come.”
