Newcastle have belatedly confirmed that five Magpies have signed new contracts. Paul Dummett and Fabian Schar have had one-year extensions triggered while Jacob Murphy, Federico Fernandez, and Dwight Gayle have agreed on new deals.
?? #NUFC are pleased to confirm that Jacob Murphy, Federico Fernández and Dwight Gayle have all signed new deals with the club.
The option of extending the contracts of Paul Dummett and Fabian Schär into the 2021/22 season have also been exercised.

On Tuesday, Newcastle released images of Dummett, Murphy, and Gayle during their first day back at training. There were no photos of Federico Fernandez or Fabian Schar, who is expected to return later this month after playing for Switzerland in the European Championships.
It’s good news to see that Fernandez is back at the training ground and has agreed on a new deal. Unfortunately, Newcastle have not revealed any details of any of the new contracts for Gayle, Murphy, or Fernandez so we don’t know how long they have been tied down for.
Steve Bruce will be thrilled that these deals have been completed. He’s pushed for new deals for the bulk of players on expiring contracts. Here is what Bruce said about getting these five Magpies tied down:
“I’m delighted to extend the players’ contracts.
“They all have a thorough understanding of this club and what it takes to play here, and they have all made excellent contributions over recent years.
“The hard work preparing for the new season has already begun and we’re looking forward to building momentum as we head towards the big kick-off next month.”

Good album which of course bypassed me back in the day when i was growing into country rock and slowly finding my way to Johnny, Willie and Merle etc
Think you will past muster as a DJ but I’m not the judge and Iv’e not really come across Shi….yet so might need to raise my already high standards if I’m ever going to aspire to cast judgement properly

Comment #94Not sure if there are any tennis fans on here but Federer is up against it today.
At 39 maybe it`s time for Fed to go out gracefully and hang up his racquet.

Comment #102Will Hughes, an average CM, is he any better than what we have? imo no.
Hayden shouldn`t be considered as part of the deal. he is the only true ball winner we have in the squad.

Comment #103hughes is bang average and quite lightweight. all efforts should have gone into getting willock on loan with condition to buy at the end for 25/30m.
a new season with ashley and bruce still here with no willock has to be the biggest turn off yet.

Comment #104The club didn’t even bother telling how long the contract extensions even are.
Just how low have nufc fallen. Stinks of relegation.

Comment #105Surely Watford should be offering Will Hughes and £12m?
Otherwise any swap deal would for Hendricks.

So I ‘stole’ Playing for Change from you?
Really? You must be a trend setter.
However, if you are a subscriber to and supporter of PfC, good for you – it shows that beneath the curmudgeonly facade of yours, there may be a human being with a view of life that’s wider than’s apparent.
