Ryan Taylor says he's happy with life at Newcastle United.
The wing-back is now playing his best football on Tyneside.
Taylor, 27, is ready to sign another deal at Newcastle after looking to have no future under previous Toon boss Chris Hughton. He explained: "It was tough. It is not down to me it is down to managers and to preferences. The manager now seems to be working well with me. I am so happy that I didn't moan or ask to leave. My patience has paid off. I have 18 months left here and I would love to stay."Taylor told the Sunday Mirror: "Every day I look forward to coming into training, but I also look forward to getting home and seeing him and having time with him before he goes to bed. I feel I came here as a young man and now I have turned that corner. I have other priorities now back at home."
