James Milner, the Newcastle midfielder, has committed his future to the club by signing a new four-year contract with Sam Allardyce’s new side.
The former Aston Villa player, who is currently enjoying a break following his exertions for England’s Under-21s at this summer’s European Championships, signed the deal after enjoying his best season yet in a black and white shirt.
Milner, 21, said: “I’m delighted to have signed a new contract. Newcastle United is a great football club and hopefully I can be here for a few more years yet and help the team be a success.
“It’s certainly exciting times at the club and I am very happy to be a part of it.”
