Dan Burn has signed a new contract with Newcastle which will keep him at the club until 2025.
The defender - who hails from nearby Blyth - returned to his boyhood club in January 2022 after joining for £13million from Brighton.
Burn, 31, was originally in the youth academy at Newcastle before being released aged 11 and used to have a season ticket at St James' Park.
He has been a revelation since coming back to the North East with the 6ft 6ins defender making the left-back stop his own and racking up 70 appearances.
