Newcastle United have announced that midfielder Ryan Taylor has agreed an extension to his current deal. Ryan Taylor has now signed a new contract that will see his stay at the Tyneside extended by two years.
This comes as a welcome news for both Newcastle United fans and manager Alan Pardew, who has shown a lot of belief in the player.
Alan Pardew has been one of the best managers in the Premier league this season. Despite having a very limited budget at a Newcastle United, he has been able to get the team closer to the top four. Ryan Taylor has been a major part of the success Newcastle United have had this season.
Ryan Taylor joined Newcastle United back in 2009 from Wigan athletic. He is capable of playing on both sides of midfield and is widely known for his free kick taking abilities. So far, the 27-year-old midfielder has been featured in 25 appearances in the league alone for Newcastle United, thus making him one of the regular faces in the squad.
Newcastle United also recently persuaded goalkeeper Tim Krul and central defender Fabricio Coloccini to new contracts last week. Ryan Taylor becomes the latest to join in the list of players committing their future to the Tyneside club.
“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,” manager Alan Pardew said on the official website of the club. Newcastle will be hoping to make it into the top five if not into the top four this season.
