Defender, Dan Burn has signed an one-year contract extension at Newcastle United until June 2027.
Burn’s contract was set to expire on 30 June 2026 but the 33 year-old defender has decided to sign an one-year contract, which caps a successful season in which he helped Newcastle clinch the Carabao Cup to end their domestic 70-year cup trophy drought.
Burn also claimed his first senior international appearance for England in March in a victory against Albania at Wembley Stadium, London, just days after the Magpies’ cup success.
Upon confirmation of his contract extension, Burn explained that he didn’t want to go into next season with press speculation over his future.
“I’m delighted to sign a new deal here. I knew that I was going into my last year and I really wanted to get my future tied down. I’ve said before that I would love to finish my career here so to be given that opportunity, I’m very grateful.
“I still feel like I’m getting better and I don’t feel that I’ve hit the top of the hill yet. It’ll be tough to top this season but hopefully we can do that over the next couple of years. It’s a dream come true to be playing for this club and I’m delighted that I get to keep doing it.”
Head Coach, Eddie Howe added that Burn had earned his contract extension after a strong season.
“Dan has had an incredible season. He has been a key part of our most memorable moments and has rightly been rewarded with senior international football.
“He is a leader who epitomises the attitude and commitment we want, and I’m delighted he’ll be staying with us for even longer.”
Newcastle’s Sporting Director, Paul Mitchell described Burn’s contract extension as “… an acknowledgement of Dan’s continued importance to the team.
“He makes an exceptional contribution to the club on and off the pitch, and it’s very pleasing to see his efforts rewarded with a wonderful season for club and country and an extended contract.”
