'Welcome bit of good news' Newcastle United fans thrilled as Martin Dubravka signs new deal

Martin Dubravka has signed a new six-year deal at Newcastle United - and Magpies' fans are delighted.

The Slovakia international joined the club initially on loan from Sparta Prague in January 2018 before making his deal permanent.

Dubravka has been in talks since last summer about a new agreement and he has now committed his future to the club.

Speaking about the new deal, he said: "It is an amazing feeling. I have to say that it feels like time has flown.

"It's been almost two years and I've found great people here who I can call friends.

"I've enjoyed my time here and I'm very glad that I can stay here for another six years."

Newcastle fans are pleased with the news coming out of St James' Park and have been reacting on social media.

United head coach Steve Bruce also added: "I'm really, really pleased that Martin has committed his future to the club.

“He's been absolutely fantastic since the day he arrived and he's a hugely important figure for us both on the pitch and in the dressing room.

"He's a massive part of our plans for the future, so it's great that he's agreed to stay with us for the next few years, and a fitting reward for his performances."
