Newcastle United have handed Isaac Hayden and Karl Darlow long-term deals at St James' Park.
The duo have been in negotiations for a number of months, but Hayden has put pen to paper until 2026 and Darlow has signed a five-year contract to extend his stay on Tyneside.
After signing the bumper deal, Hayden - who had previously thought about leaving for family reasons - said: "I'm delighted. It shows a lot of loyalty and commitment from both sides.
"It's great to have agreed this before the start of the season and we can focus on getting the football right and getting as high up the Premier League table as we can."
Darlow said: "I'm really happy to have extended my stay. I've had five very good years and things are very positive here, especially with the new players coming in.
"There's a buzz around the place and that's great going into a new season. I'm happy to get sorted and give myself something to really get my teeth into."
And giving his views on the contracts, Steve Bruce added: I've been impressed with Karl. He hasn't played a lot because of the performances of Martin Dúbravka, but he's a very, very good goalkeeper and I'm delighted to tie him up. “
"I'm delighted with Isaac too. He's a 25-year-old midfielder with his best years ahead of him.
"I know it has been a little bit on-off in terms of his future, so I'm very pleased he has committed himself to the club.
"We have had a very good week and a very good window with the players we have brought in, but the business we have done in terms of keeping players here has been very important too."
