Symes has played just one match since signing in the middle of March and has scored 1 goal but has impressed enough on and off the pitch to earn himself a new deal - with the liklihood he'll keep his place up front for the forthcoming games. Michael is out of contract at Everton in the summer and would be free to sign if he's offered a deal in the summer.
Meanwhile, Craig Hignett will have to wait to see if Dario is willing to keep him. Higgy's loan deal runs out on Monday and it's unknown, after Hignett's 'contribution', if Dario will be willing to keep him at the club.
