Lewis Miley signs new long-term contract | OneFootball

The 20-year-old has penned a six-year deal to keep him at St. James' Park until 2032.

Lewis, an England Under-21 international, joined the Academy aged seven and rapidly progressed through the ranks to become the club's youngest ever appearance maker in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

He also holds the club record for youngest goalscorer in both competitions, memorably netting against Fulham at the Gallowgate End as a 17-year-old in late 2023.

His towering header away to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this season further cemented his place in the history books, replacing Hugo Viana's Champions League record which had stood since 2002.

Lewis featured 34 times during the 2025/26 campaign, which saw him adapt seamlessly to a new right-back role, taking his Magpies tally to 80 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club.

He ended the season with the highest amount of minutes played by any English teenager in the Premier League.

Lewis said: "I'm really pleased to sign this new contract and commit my future here. It's a dream to be representing Newcastle United, so this is a proud moment for me.

"I'm really grateful to everybody who has played a part in helping me get to where I am today, especially the support of my family and the trust that the club has put in me from such a young age.

"It's been an amazing journey so far and I'm so excited for what's ahead. I'm now working hard every day to get back on the pitch even stronger next season and start to repay the faith that has been shown in me."

Head coach Eddie Howe added: "Lewis fully deserves his new contract as recognition for everything he has achieved over the last few years. It's also a reflection of the potential for further growth that we all see in him.

"He's earned every opportunity and has proven himself to be more than capable of performing at the highest level. Players like Lewis are a dream to work with - not only is he immensely talented, he's keen to learn and approaches everything with a brilliant attitude.

"His versatility has proven to be a major plus and his willingness to try new roles is a reflection of his selfless approach to the team. I'm really looking forward to seeing Lewis back in action next season and I'm confident he will continue to go from strength to strength."

Sporting Director Ross Wilson commented: "I'm delighted to see Lewis sign this contract and continue his exciting journey with us. I know everybody connected with the club shares that feeling and it's clear just how much Lewis loves Newcastle United.

"This is something we have been working on quietly for a number of months. Lewis already had a long contract with us, but we felt it was important to reward his continued progression and development.

"He joined our Academy as a young boy with a dream and it is exciting for everybody to see the player he is becoming. The most exciting aspect is that we believe the best is still to come."
