Dan Burn signs Newcastle contract extension | OneFootball

Newcastle United have announced that Dan Burn has signed a contract extension which will keep him at St James’ Park until at least 2025

“It means everything to me to play for this club and to sign a new contract,” Burn told the club’s official website.

“I said when I signed that I didn’t want this to be just a ‘stop-gap’ signing to keep us up – I wanted to be here for a long time.

“So personally it feels even more of an achievement signing this one than it was actually signing here in the first place. I’m delighted and looking forward to the next couple of seasons.”

The 31-year-old – who was born in Blyth and grew up supporting the Magpies – joined the club from Brighton in January 2022 and has since made 70 appearances in black and white, scoring four goals.

Newcastle United head coach, Eddie Howe, added: “Dan is a leader on and off the pitch so we are delighted he has extended his stay with us.

“He is a key part of our squad and has played a huge role in our progress since his arrival.

“He knows exactly what it means to represent this great club and is hungry to succeed, and that can only help the team and the club going forward.”
