Newcastle United are delighted to announce that Lewis Miley has signed a new long-term contract.
The 17-year-old midfielder has pledged his future to the Magpies after making an impact on Eddie Howe’s first-team side this season.
Lewis, a Newcastle United Academy product, made his Premier League debut for his boyhood club on the final day of the 2022/23 season away at Chelsea.
He has since made 18 competitive first-team games, including three in the UEFA Champions League, and has been represented at Under-19 level by England.
Lewis became the youngest Newcastle United player to ever record an assist in the Premier League in November 2023, setting up an Alexander Isak goal in a 4-1 win over Chelsea.
In December 2023, he became the youngest player in UEFA Champions League history to assist an English team, setting up Joelinton to score against AC Milan.
Just three days later, he made history as Newcastle United’s youngest Premier League scorer, scoring the opening goal at the Gallowgate End as the Magpies defeated Fulham 3-0.
Lewis stated after pledging his future to the club, “It’s a really proud moment for me and my family to sign another professional contract with my boyhood club.” I couldn’t be more proud.
“Hopefully, I can continue to do well in the coming years, improve my performance, and grow as a player.
“It’s real.
Newcastle United head coach, Eddie Howe, commented: “Lewis is an incredible young talent and has all the attributes to be a significant part of Newcastle United’s journey, both now and for many years to come.
“He has already contributed to the squad with outstanding performances in really difficult circumstances this season, and we are very enthusiastic about what is to come as he continues to develop his game and grow with us.
“I’d like to recognise the importance of the club’s Academy in Lewis’ growth. He is a brilliant example of the club’s talent route, and we hope he will inspire our younger players to follow in his footsteps.”
