Defender Ciaran Clark has committed his future to Newcastle by signing a new two-year contract.
The 31-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who joined the Magpies from Aston Villa during the summer of 2016, has been one of head coach Steve Bruce's most reliable performers since returning from a lengthy injury lay-off in November.
He has made 103 appearances for the club and scored 11 goals during his time to date on Tyneside and is now looking to push on after securing his immediate future.
Clark, whose existing deal was due to expire at the end of the season, said: 'It's a brilliant feeling and I'm delighted that I've managed to get it signed.
