Defender, Fabian Schar has signed a new one-year contract extension at Newcastle United until June 2025.
Schär previously extended his contract in April 2022 with his current deal set to expire at the end of June 2024, but the Switzerland international has agreed fresh terms on an one-year contract extension.
“I’ve said it a lot of times, but I feel really at home here,” commentedd Schär, who has 78 internationl caps for Switzerland, and is widely tipped to be part of their squad for UEFA Euro 2024 this summer.
Schär also reflected on what it means to be part of the club as he continued: “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.”
Manager, Eddie Howe added: “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.”
Schar has scored 11 goals in 169 appearances for Newcastle, which included the final goal of the Magpies’ shock 4-1 home win over PSG in this season’s UEFA Champions League.
