This season, Dúbravka has made fourteen appearances in all competitions, keeping seven clean sheets. He won the Premier League’s Save of the Month in December for a stop against Wolves at St. James’ Park.

On signing his new contract, Dúbravka said: “I’m really happy to have extended my time here. I had a really positive discussion with the gaffer and sporting director and we all agreed that it would be best if I stayed here.

“I have a really special connection here with the club, the staff and the fans. My children were born here, so they are Geordies now, and this club holds a special place in my heart.

“I feel that the team is in a really good place at the minute, with how we are doing in the league and obviously being in two cup competitions is really exciting.”

Head coach Eddie Howe said: “Martin is a high-quality goalkeeper who has performed brilliantly for Newcastle United over the years.

“He has stepped back into the team recently and performed very well, demonstrating his value within a strong goalkeeping unit.
