Sven Botman has signed a new contract with Newcastle United until 2030.
The Dutch defender had entered the final 18 months of his original deal, but has now committed his long-term future to the club.
"I'm really happy to sign this contract," he said. "This club has given me so much in the past three and a half years.
"I've grown as a person and as a player here and I feel like I have so much more to give in the long term.
"That's why both parties are really happy with this decision and I'm looking forward to what's coming in the future here."
Sporting director Ross Wilson spent his first few days in the post analysing the contracts of Newcastle's squad after joining the club from Nottingham Forest back in October.
It certainly did not escape his attention that Botman's deal was up at the end of next season, and head coach Eddie Howe was also keen to tie the centre-back down.
"He has been an outstanding player for us since he joined and I firmly believe there's more to come from him," Howe added.
"Sven has a strong mentality and work ethic, which is clear every time he trains or plays. We value his presence on and off the pitch and l'm really pleased to see his long-term future secured here."
