Newcastle United have reportedly extended Paul Dummett’s contract.
The Chronicle claim the club have now triggered the option that was present in the defender’s exisiting deal.
He’ll spend at least one more year with the club.
Dummett took some time to get going this season with injuries hampering him early on.
The 29-year-old made just one appearance before 2021, and his fitness struggles cast a bit of doubt on his future at the club.
But Dummett worked his way back, and has been an important player for Steve Bruce over the past couple of months.
Dummett has started the last 11 games in a row heading into the final game with Fulham today, and he’s played 90 minutes in each of those.
The £35,000-a-week star’s (Spotrac) general solidity has helped Newcastle pull away from danger, and so it is little surprise to see the club moving to sign him up for another season.
On social media, fans have been reacting to news of Dummett getting another year at St. James’ Park.
The general consensus is that it’s what he deserves:
