Paul Dummett may still be just 30 but he is now the most experienced player at Newcastle United these days. Magpies boss Eddie Howe opted against Dummett's contract running down and made the shrewd decision to keep him around for at least another season.
It's now more than a decade since he found himself thrown in at the deep end in 2011 on the club's tour of the United States when he played away at Columbus Crew in a 3-0 win.
Dummett was just 19 then, but will now be on hand to pass on good advice to the likes of Elliot Anderson and Kell Watts.
