Yahoo Sports reports: Fabian Schar says he is "very glad" to be staying at Newcastle for another season, after signing a new one-year contract extension. The 34-year-old defender's current deal was set to expire at the end of June but he will now remain at Newcastle for a ninth season. Schar has made 251 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle since arriving in 2018, and is the club's second-longest serving player, but has been absent since having surgery on an ankle injury in January.
