Newcastle United have confirmed two contract extensions with Paul Dummett and Loris Karius both agreeing terms on one-year deals. The Magpies previously confirmed the duo had been offered new deals, and the announcement was made on social media on Sunday afternoon.
Newcastle's first-team squad reported for their first day of pre-season on Sunday, with their first friendly against Gateshead FC less than a week later. News of the contract extension was released with a picture of head coach Eddie Howe standing besides both players at the club's training ground.
It is the second extension Karius has agreed since signing an initial short-term deal on Tyneside last September. The former Liverpool number one's appearance in the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United is still the 30-year-old's only appearance for the club to date.
