Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett has signed what could be a six year deal at Newcastle United. The 22 year old who has spent time on loan at St Mirren, scored his first goal for Newcastle in his third senior league appearance against Liverpool before making his first Premier League start against Sunderland last weekend.
Dummett said after the news was announced;
"I am delighted to secure my long-term future with Newcastle United.
Like so many local lads, it has been my boyhood dream to play for this club and now I am looking forward to repaying their faith in me and working hard to be the best possible player I can be."
Pardew added;
"Paul fully deserves his new contract and we're delighted for him. He has made great progress in the last year, benefiting enormously from his spell at St Mirren last year.
His performances this season for us have been first class and we were all delighted he scored his first goal for the club against Liverpool, and a very important one at that."
And Joe Kinnear rounded it up with;
"We're delighted that Paul has committed his long term future to the club.
In reality, this was never in doubt as we wanted Paul to stay and, as a Geordie, Paul made it clear that the only place he wanted to play was Newcastle United - it was just a question of finding the right deal for both parties, which we have managed to do."
