Schar extends Newcastle stay until summer of 2026

Newcastle defender Fabian Schar has extended his contract at the club until the summer of 2026.

The Switzerland international joined the Magpies from Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna in July 2018.

Schar, 33, has made 221 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle and recently helped them win the Carabao Cup, the club's first domestic trophy since they lifted the FA Cup in 1955.

His previous deal had been set to expire at the end of June.

"It's been a very good few weeks for everybody at Newcastle after winning the Carabao Cup and I'm really happy now to sign another contract with this amazing club," Schar said.
