Andy Carroll has signed a new one-year deal with his boyhood club, as Newcastle United announce their retained list. He will now remain at the club for the 2020/2021 season.
Andy Carroll Signs New Contract as Newcastle Announce Retained List
New Deals
Javier Manquillo has joined Carroll in signing a new contract, which will see him remain a Magpies player for the next four years.
Elsewhere, Matty Longstaff, who is out of contract at the end of the month, has signed a new short-term contract which will run out once the prolonged season has come to an end.
The Magpies have also confirmed that after talks with loanees and parent clubs, Nabil Bentaleb and Danny Rose have extended their loan deals with Schalke and Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the restarted season.
It also looks likely that Valentino Lazaro will extend his loan from Inter Milan as an agreement has been made, but both teams are waiting for the documentation to come through.
Steve Bruce was delighted to get all these deals over the line. He said: “I’m really pleased that we have been able to put these extensions in place and I’d like to thank the players for committing themselves to the club with some very important games left to play.”
“We have been proactive in trying to reach these agreements and they will give us the best chance of finishing the season as strongly as possible.”
“I’m delighted Javier Manquillo and Andy Carroll have extended their contracts longer term.”
“They have both made important contributions this season and I’m really pleased we can continue to call on them beyond the summer.”
Players Departing
Newcastle have also announced that Rob Elliot, Jack Colback and Jamie Sterry will leave the club when their contracts run out at the end of the month.
Elliot has been at the club since 2011 but has not played a game since December 2017. Meanwhile Colback, who signed from local rival Sunderland in 2014 came in as a first-team regular, but as with Elliot, has not played for the Magpies since 2017.
Sterry, a product of the academy, made 12 appearances for his local club and spent time out on loan at Coventry City and Crewe Alexandra.
Youngsters Luke Charman, Victor Fernandez, Liam Gibson and Nathan Harker will all leave the club at the end of the month.
Newcastle sit 13th in the Premier League table and look to be safe from relegation this season. They’ve gained four points from their first two games since the season restarted, which included an impressive 3-0 victory against European chasers Sheffield United.
