Dan Burn extends Newcastle deal until 2025

The Blyth-born defender joined the Magpies from Brighton in January 2022 and has gone on to become an integral member of Eddie Howe's squad, making 70 appearances.

Burn, 31, told the Newcastle website: "It means everything to me to play for this club and to sign a new contract.

"I said when I signed that I didn't want this to be just a 'stop-gap' signing to keep us up – I wanted to be here for a long time.

"So personally it feels even more of an achievement signing this one than it was actually signing here in the first place. I'm delighted and looking forward to the next couple of seasons."

After helping Newcastle qualify for the Champions League last season, Burn scored in the recent 4-1 win over Paris St Germain at St James' Park.

"Dan is a leader on and off the pitch so we are delighted he has extended his stay with us," Newcastle head coach Howe said.

"He is a key part of our squad and has played a huge role in our progress since his arrival.

"He knows exactly what it means to represent this great club and is hungry to succeed, and that can only help the team and the club going forward."
