Newcastle have announced that James Milner has signed a new contract.
The England Under 21 winger has been in talks for a number of months over extending his contract and he has now put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal.
"I'm delighted to have signed a new contract," said Milner, who is now tied to St James' Park until 2011.
"Newcastle United is a great football club and hopefully I can be here for a few more years yet and help the team be a success.
"It's certainly exciting times at the club and I am very happy to be a part of it."
The extension for Milner is a clear sign that he will be major part of new boss Sam Allardyce's plans for next season and beyond.
