Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor has signed a 2 year extension to his current contract, keeping him at the club until 2015. The 27 year old who has made over 70 appearances for Newcastle is the third player in the last ten days to sign new deals, joining Fabricio Coloccini and Tim Krul who have both extended their stay.
Taylor told NUFC.co.uk
"I'm over the moon. It's been a quiet one to get done and didn't take long.
I stated not so long ago that I would love to stay here, and that has always been the case. Playing every week helps, and having a good manager has been a massive plus for me as well.
When the gaffer came in first of all I was injured, so I've had to prove myself to him. But this season has been great for me on a personal note, and to have played every Premier League game bar two or three then it's been a great season."
Manager Alan Pardew added;
"I am delighted to secure a contract extension for Ryan. He has been outstanding for me this season wherever I have asked him to play.
Ryan is a fantastic player who is firmly in the hearts of our fans, not only for his derby winner against Sunderland but also because of some excellent performances in the Newcastle shirt.
On the back of agreeing new deals last week with Tim Krul and Fabricio Coloccini, this gives us a huge boost going into the final 11 games, and hopefully Ryan can help us make this a truly memorable season."
