Swiss centre-back Fabian Schar has signed a new contract extension with Newcastle United.
The previous deal was set to expire at the end of this season, while the new contract extension will see the 32-year-old stay at St James’ Park until the summer of 2025.
“I’ve said it a lot of times, but I feel really at home here,” said Schar to Newcastle’s official website.
“I feel so comfortable living in Newcastle; I love the city and I love playing for the club and the incredible fans. I can’t say enough how much I love them, and how much their support means to me.
“Playing for this team where I feel so comfortable with all my team-mates and with the coaching staff feels really like a family for me, so I’m really grateful to stay here a bit longer and hopefully to have some more exciting times.”
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said: “Fabian has been excellent for us. Since I’ve come to the football club, he’s been a model of consistency and a big part of our success.
“He’s defended very well but he’s hugely talented with the ball as well, so we’re delighted that he’s extended his time here.”
