Newcastle United official announcement – 20 February 2025:

‘Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka has signed a new contract with the club.

The 36-year-old joined the Magpies in January 2018, initially on loan, making his debut in a 1-0 victory against Manchester United. The Slovakia international signed on a permanent basis the following summer after making twelve appearances.

This season, Dúbravka has made fourteen appearances in all competitions, keeping seven clean sheets. He won the Premier League’s Save of the Month in December for a stop against Wolves at St. James’ Park.

On signing his new contract, Dúbravka said: “I’m really happy to have extended my time here. I had a really positive discussion with the gaffer and sporting director and we all agreed that it would be best if I stayed here.

“I have a really special connection here with the club, the staff and the fans. My children were born here, so they are Geordies now, and this club holds a special place in my heart.

“I feel that the team is in a really good place at the minute, with how we are doing in the league and obviously being in two cup competitions is really exciting.”

Head coach Eddie Howe said: “Martin is a high-quality goalkeeper who has performed brilliantly for Newcastle United over the years.

“He has stepped back into the team recently and performed very well, demonstrating his value within a strong goalkeeping unit.

“It’s no secret that he had options to move on in January, but he deserves huge credit for keeping his focus. We are delighted Martin is staying with us.”
