(Reuters) - Everton defender Phil Jagielka has been the best English defender in the last 12 months because of his consistency, manager Roberto Martinez has said.

The England international has made nine appearances for the Toffees so far and has helped them keep three clean sheets this campaign and Martinez felt the 33-year-old defender is not getting the credit he deserves.
