Newcastle experience mixed results after two contract offers

ChronicleLive says Newcastle have seen senior striker Callum Wilson reject a new contract offer. 

However, there is better news regarding veteran goalkeeper John Ruddy, who after initial hesitation has now committed to a new 12-month deal.

Now 38, Ruddy will act as a reserve keeper and also as a mentor to Newcastle's young players.

Wilson, meanwhile, has rejected a new incentive-based offer from Newcastle, though negotiations are continuing between the two parties.

The veteran has other offers and is likely to make a decision after the Club World Cup, where he is working as a pundit.
