Newcastle signs Taylor to new deal

Ryan Taylor has signed a new contract with Newcastle United.

The much-improved 27-year old defender/midfielder has penned a deal which will keep him with the Toon for a further two years.

Taylor, who has extended his deal until 2015, was delighted to have been given the chance to stay with the club.

"I'm over the moon. It's been a quiet one to get done and didn't take long," he told the club's official website.

"I stated not so long ago that I would love to stay here, and that has always been the case. Playing every week helps, and having a good manager has been a massive plus for me as well.

"When the gaffer came in first of all I was injured, so I've had to prove myself to him. But this season has been great for me on a personal note, and to have played every Premier League game bar two or three then it's been a great season."
