Kieran Trippier vows to play on until 40 with Newcastle United amid Tom Brady comparison

Kieran Trippier would love to be Newcastle United's very own version of Tom Brady. The NFL star finally retired at the age of 45 this year after an illustrious and glittering career with New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Trippier's contributions to Newcastle this season have been similar to Brady as he has pulled the strings for the Magpies and been the cool head in the camp as they have made their way to the Carabao Cup final.

Trippier, who will be 33 later this year, signed a contract extension with the Magpies recently until 2025 but hopes he can be here much longer. The full-back is excited about life at Newcastle but also the longevity of what was once deemed a short career by older pros.
