Scotland Under-21 cap Elliot Anderson has penned a new long-term contract with Newcastle United.
The 19-year-old was born in the North-East of England and is eligible to play for both Scotland and England at international level. He's represented the Scots since Under-16 level though and earned his first cap for the Under-21s back in the summer. Having made three substitute appearances under Eddie Howe this season, hopes are high for Anderson and there could soon be a rush to get him capped at senior level.
His deal had been due to expire in a year's time but Newcastle have announced a new long-term contract for the youngster, who plays as an attacking midfielder or a winger. He said: "I'm really happy. I love playing for Newcastle United, and committing my future to the club is something I've really wanted to do.
