Fabian Schar delighted signing new contract with Newcastle

Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has signed a new deal.

Newcastle signed Schar from Deportivo La Corua in the summer of 2018.

The 32-year-old has since developed into a key player for the Magpies.

Schr has now extended his contract until the summer of 2025.

"I have said it many times, but I really feel at home here," he told the club's website. "I love playing for the club and the incredible fans.

"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."

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is also pleased.

"Fabian has been excellent for us. Since I came to the club, he has been a prototype of continuity and a big part of our success," he says.

"He has defended very well but he is hugely talented with the ball as well, so we are delighted that he has extended his time here."
