Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is as committed to the club as ever after 12 months at the helm.

Howe has been in charge for roughly a year, taking over from Steve Bruce with the team in the relegation zone at the time.

He now finds his side in the top three in the Premier League and contending for trophies.

"It's been different but a healthy different," the Newcastle boss told reporters on Tuesday.

"It was part of the reason I wanted to come to something new and vibrant and a totally different challenge.

"I feel like I'm Newcastle through and through but I feel like I have a lot more to prove and a lot more to educate myself on.

“It's been a really healthy dynamic for me to come into an amazing football club and try take on the challenge of managing Newcastle.

“It's an amazing thing to do."
