Krafth signs new one-year deal

Newcastle United is delighted to confirm that Emil Krafth has signed a new one-year contract with the club.

The Swedish full back, whose current agreement with United was due to expire next summer, has put pen to paper on a new deal which will keep him at St. James' Park until June 2024.

Krafth joined the Magpies from French side Amiens in August 2019, having earlier enjoyed spells with Bologna, Helsingborgs, Östers IF and Lagans AIK. He has made 62 appearances to date during his time on Tyneside, scoring once against Manchester City in May 2021.

The 27-year-old - a 42-cap international for his country - helped Eddie Howe's side secure an 11th-placed finish last term and impressed towards the end of the campaign, with United winning five of the final seven games in which Krafth started in April and May.

Krafth told NUFC TV: "I'm very, very happy to extend my contract here - me and my family love to live here - and continue with the journey we started with the club. I'm really looking forward to the future at the club."

Head coach Howe added: "I'm very pleased Emil has extended his stay with us. He made an excellent contribution to the team last season and he continues to add valuable strength to us."
