Newcastle United Football Club officially announced the renewal of young midfielder Lewis Miley's contract with a long-term deal extending until June 2032, in a move that underscores the club's great confidence in one of its most promising talents.

This announcement comes at a time when Newcastle is experiencing a turbulent season, having finished the Premier League in twelfth place after losing the final round to Fulham 2-0, in a match where Miley was absent due to recovering from a fibula injury.

This brought his total contributions with the team to 6 goals over 80 matches since being promoted to the first team.

Miley also caught attention with his tactical flexibility, having been deployed in multiple positions throughout the season, including as a right-back when needed, which enhanced his value within coach Eddie Howe's lineup.

After signing the new contract, Mili expressed his great happiness at staying with the club, saying: "I am very happy to sign this new contract and commit my future here. Playing for Newcastle United is a dream for me, and this is a moment of great pride."

He added, "I am grateful to everyone who helped me get here, especially my family and the club's trust in me from a young age. It has been a wonderful journey so far, and I am excited for what is to come."

The player concluded his statements by affirming his desire to return strongly in the next season and continue developing within the team.

For his part, coach Eddie Howe praised the player, affirming that he deserves this recognition, saying: "Lewis deserved this contract for what he has delivered over the past years, and it is also a reflection of his great potential for the future."

He concluded: "He has proven that he is capable of playing at the highest level, possesses a distinctive mentality and a continuous desire to learn, and his tactical flexibility is an important addition to the team."
