Dear fans,
I want to say „goodbye“ to you and thank you for the support you have given to me during the last four years.

My farewell may come all of a sudden for some of you, but I think most of you won't be too surprised.

I personally would have preferred a better parting, for example with a promotion or a successful season in the first division. But unfortunately this was not granted to us.

During the last weeks in Cologne there were some incidents which made life not easy for me. So when I got the opportunity to change to an English club, my family and I knew, that I had to take the chance.

That’s why I went to a short trail in Everton two weeks ago, even if some people told me not to do so.

Since I have been a child it has always been my dream to play in the
Premier League one day.

Besides that I’m glad to sign a club which takes part in the UEFA-cup this
year. That made the move even more attractive.

I’m aware that Tim Howard is the number one at the moment and I have to wait and work to get my chance.

I’m looking forward to making my first long-term international experience and will always remember the wonderful time I had in Cologne, even if there were ups and downs in my career.

The way people celebrate football in Cologne is an outstanding phanomenon. And the crowded and sold out stadium - even in the second division – that really is gigantic!

Now I’m looking forward to being part of the team of Everton FC and to the first match against Blackburn.

Yours,

Stefan"
