It's a yes! Matty Longstaff signs new contract with the Magpies
Newcastle United has announced local lad Matty Longstaff will stay at the club for two more years.
The 20-year-old midfielder joined the Magpies' first team after impressing boss Steve Bruce last summer and made Premier League debut against Manchester United in October 2019.
Matty Longstaff's debut season:
Won Premier League Goal of the Month award for his debut against Man U
Nominated for the Goal of the Season prize
Scored three goals in 15 appearances
Won first England cap at under-19 level
Head coach Bruce added: "We never want to lose our good young players and it's an important time for Matty now. I do believe the speculation affected him, so let's hope we get to see the real Matty, the one who burst onto the scene before last Christmas, and let's see him come and perform to the level which we hope he can maintain."
Longstaff's older brother, Sean, also plays for the Magpies and has made 42 appearances for the club.
He added: "Playing alongside Sean always makes it special so hopefully I can get a few more games under my belt with him and crack on."
