Fabian Schar says he is "very glad" to be staying at Newcastle for another season, after signing a new one-year contract extension.
The 34-year-old defender's current deal was set to expire at the end of June but he will now remain at Newcastle for a ninth season.
Schar has made 251 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle since arriving in 2018, and is the club's second-longest serving player, but has been absent since having surgery on an ankle injury in January.
"I'm proud to call Newcastle home," he said on his new deal.
"Everybody knows how happy I am, both in this city and with this club, so I'm very glad to be continuing that for another year.
"Last season didn't end the way I wanted in terms of my injury, but my full focus now is on getting back to fitness and helping the team achieve our goals next season."
Magpies boss Eddie Howe added: "Fabian has been outstanding since I arrived at the football club so I'm really pleased to see that he'll be staying with us.
"He's a really highly valued member of our squad, not only for his ability on the pitch but also for the leadership and experience he brings to the group."
Newcastle fans, are you happy Schar is staying for another year? And how big a role has he played at the club over the last eight years?
