Good news tonight that Andy Carroll has signed a new five-year contract to keep him at St James’ Park until at least 2015.
Andy Carroll – after scoring at Wolves – his 4th goal of the season
The Gateshead-born striker told the Newcastle official website:
“All I have ever wanted to do is play for Newcastle United. That’s been the case since I was a teenager, playing for the juniors and reserves, and it’s still the same now.”
“Every time I pull on the black and white shirt – and even more so now that I have number nine on my back – it means the world to me, so to be able to do that for at least the next five years is brilliant,”
Newcastle Managing Director Derek Llambias, who seems to be doing a much better job at Newcastle these days, was equally pleased the 21-year-old signed the deal, as he said today:
“We’re dedicated to bringing exciting young players through our youth academy to play for the club.”Andy Carroll certainly fits that bill, having graduated through the ranks here, and we’re extremely pleased to have agreed with him a new long-term deal.”
“Players like Andy are the future of this club and we have spent a long time putting together a deal that is right for both him and Newcastle United.”
Make no mistake about it – this is good news for the Newcastle club, and the next local lad we want to see sign along the dotted line is 24 year-old Steven Taylor, who is only now returning from his severe shoulder injury.
Comments welcome.

Comment #3Atlast some good news and about time 😉
I knew he’d wanna stay as soon as he got the number 9 and agree we need Taylor to sign asap and not leave for nothing next year.

Comment #5Jon Carew, Villa at the moment refuses to renew his contract nor does he want to, on a free end of the season. ????

Comment #6Yes, this is good news after a bad week! But CT – I can’t see why anyone would want Carroll, Ranger, Ameobi AND John Carew at the club – and I wouldn’t play Carew and Carroll in the same team; we might as well forget a midfield in those circs and just hump it up from the back all the time. Mind, think of the wages we’d save.

Comment #7You’ve got to say that this will lift a little weight off of his shoulders, so he can fully concentrate on his football. Definately more goals to come!

Comment #13Maybe his being dropped has been a helpful reminder to the lad that representing his country is a consequence of playing well for his home club, not the other way about and that is all he should be concentrating on.

Comment #14Brilliant news!!! I hope there is a clause in his contract. A huge clause. Because Carroll is a monster and one of the best strikers in the world.
