Paul Dummett has signed a one-year extension to his existing deal at Newcastle United.
The former Welsh international's current deal was due to run out at the end of the current campaign but Eddie Howe is delighted to have confirmed he is staying for a 10th year as a first-team player. Dummett has made only three appearances this season but has been available for majority of fixtures in 2022.
With a calf injury from the start of the season behind him Dummett has been back on the bench in recent games.
Dummett said today: “This is a hugely exciting time for the football club and the city so I’m delighted to be committing another year here and staying at my boyhood club. I’m immensely proud that next season will be my tenth involved with the first team and I’m really looking forward to being part of what is a big season to come. Howay the lads!”
Howe said: “Paul is a consummate professional who has given so much to this club and I’m delighted he will be staying with us. He is a player and a person I like very much. He leads by example both in the dressing room and on the pitch and I’m pleased to retain someone with his positive influence and defensive capabilities."
