Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has signed a contract extension to keep him at St. James’ Park until 2027.
The England international has become a firm fan favourite since joining from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2022.
Fresh terms cap a standout 2024-25 season for the 33-year-old which included a man of the match performance in the Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool in March and also saw him rewarded with a first senior England call up and an international debut against Albania.

“I’m delighted to sign a new deal here,” Burn said after Saturday’s announcement. “I knew that I was going into my last year and I really wanted to get my future tied down. I’ve said before that I would love to finish my career here so to be given that opportunity, I’m very grateful.
“I still feel like I’m getting better and I don’t feel that I’ve hit the top of the hill yet. It’ll be tough to top this season but hopefully we can do that over the next couple of years. It’s a dream come true to be playing for this club and I’m delighted that I get to keep doing it.”
Head coach, Eddie Howe, added: “Dan has had an incredible season. He has been a key part of our most memorable moments and has rightly been rewarded with senior international football.
“He is a leader who epitomises the attitude and commitment we want, and I’m delighted he’ll be staying with us for even longer.”
‘One of the best buys in Newcastle’s modern history’
Pound for pound, Burn has been one of the best buys in Newcastle’s modern history. He has repeatedly risen to every challenge and, as he told The Athletic less than six months after signing, he had full confidence that he would ensure he was more than merely a “stop-gap signing” to help the club avoid relegation.
A fourth-placed finish and then a Champions League campaign followed as a left-back, then since reverting to his natural position of centre-half this season, Burn has been arguably Newcastle’s most-consistent performer. He scored at Wembley against Liverpool in March and wrote his name into club folklore in the process, as part of the first Newcastle side to win a domestic trophy in 70 years.
England honours have deservedly followed and he is one of Eddie Howe’s most trusted lieutenants at St James’ Park. He provides leadership, defensive resilience and is rarely injured.
A centre-half is being targeted this summer, but that is to bolster the contingent Newcastle already have and provide added competition, rather than to displace a mainstay like Burn. That is why a contract extension is a no-brainer.

Scheffler makes big move at Colonial as Griffin and Schmid share lead
Scottie Scheffler made seven birdies and an eagle in the third round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas with Robert MacIntyre also edging himself into contention.Coming off his third major victory at the PGA Championship a week ago, but starting the weekend 10 strokes off the lead, Scheffler is tied for seventh after shooting 6 under (64) after plundering seven birdies and an eagle. "You are always going to hope to go play a perfect round. It basically never happens," Scheffler said. "I mean, three bogeys definitely hurts, especially when you are trying to chase, but overall I did some good things."Scheffler will need another spectacular round Sunday to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win in three starts in a row, and the only player other than Ben Hogan in 1946 to win the […]
How Arsenal crafted their second Women’s Champions League title: ‘Being calm, clear and ruthless’
Arsenal Women are champions of Europe (again).Eighteen years after becoming the first English side to win the Champions League, they are now the first team to go all the way through the qualifying rounds to lift the trophy.In a rollercoaster season that began with high-profile player departures, on-pitch frustrations and managerial changes, Renee Slegers leading Arsenal to the European summit feels nearly impossible. They beat perennial Champions League winners Barcelona 1-0 after despatching record-holders Olympique Lyonnais in the semi-finals.AdvertisementBut, hey, this is the year of the underdog, isn’t it?When Arsenal’s Champions League campaign began in September, with a 6-0 qualification win over Rangers, Slegers was still part of then-head coach Jonas Eidevall’s backroom staff. She was an academy player at Arsenal when they last won the Champions League, and Eidevall brought her back to work as an individual development coach.Slegers’ focus […]

Tyson Fury shoots down talk of return from retirement: ‘I’m retired and I’m staying retired’
Getty Images When multi-time former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury recently shared a video of himself training in the gym with coach SugarHill Steward and said, "You know what's coming," speculation kicked off that Fury would end his retirement, possibly to face Anthony Joshua in a long-awaited U.K. super fight. Fury threw cold water on those hopes with a video posted to Instagram on Saturday."I hear a lot of talk of the Gypsy King returning to boxing. What would I return for? More boxing belts? I've won 22 of them," Fury said. "... But I'm happy, I'm happy, contented with what I have achieved, what I've accomplished. I've been around the world and back again." Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January after suffering his second consecutive defeat against Oleksandr Usyk. While it may have been an appropriate time for […]
Kyle Larson, another Indy 500/NASCAR ‘Double’ try, and a GOAT legacy in reach
INDIANAPOLIS — In the most recent NASCAR Cup Series points race, Kyle Larson led 83 percent of the laps, won his third race of the still-young season and took over the series points lead heading into his Memorial Day Weekend “Double” attempt.Given his frequent success, Larson’s NASCAR rivals would have every reason not to like him. But among his peers, seemingly no one feels that way.AdvertisementAnd after winning 26 Cup Series races since the start of 2021, they would also have every reason to cheer against him. But when the NASCAR drivers watch Larson in Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, awaiting their turn to race against him in Charlotte’s 600-mile race that night, many will be doing the opposite.“Yeah, I root for him,” two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Busch said. “I wish him well in that endeavor.
