Newcastle United have confirmed that Fabian Schar has signed a new two-year contract with the club which will take his time on Tyneside to the summer of 2024. It signals the first step of the Magpies’ summer rebuild as they look to punch further up the table next season.
Schar has transformed his career at St James’ Park since Eddie Howe’s arrival after looking as though his time was up in the earlier stages of the campaign under Steve Bruce. He has been excellent alongside Dan Burn in the heart of the defence as United have emerged as one of the Premier League’s in-form sides.
The news comes as a welcome relief to United supporters after it looked as though there was going to be no resolution for his contract situation as it moved into the final couple of months. Schar was also, unsurprisingly, overjoyed after agreeing the new deal.
