While the fullback has managed just five appearances this season, Moyes is clear about his feelings towards the veteran fullback.
He said on Friday, “I would make a place for him, one way or the other, whatever happened. There are no discussions at the moment, the focus is on the games.
“Obviously, we’re working on things when we need to but if I’m honest, we’ve not really sat down and talked to Seamus. I talk to Seamus privately, and I’d like Seamus to stay at the club one way or another.
“People could question him as a player, but I think he was elite level and what he’s got in terms of the characteristics he brings to the football club, he’s got a lot of Everton DNA in it. I think I need to retain that through the building, whether that’s the academy, helping the young ones or even this morning when he was digging out the senior players, a couple of them for not running back or doing their work correctly.
“He’s got a great idea of what the club requires. I have been away from the club, but I think he has been an ambassador for the club probably more than anybody.
“He was maybe one of the only people the supporters would believe and listen to, so I hope there is a role that we can make if it is not playing. Let’s be fair he has had a brilliant career.
“One of the staff said the other day: ‘Bloody hell gaffer, what did you pay sixty grand for him for?’ I said: ‘I know it was far too much!’ We are happy to joke about with it.”
