Harvey Barnes signs new long-term contract with Newcastle United
England winger Harvey Barnes, 28, has agreed a new long‑term contract with Newcastle United, extending his stay at St James’ Park beyond the expiry of his previous deal in 2028. The club confirmed the agreement on 27 July 2026.
Barnes joined Newcastle from Leicester City in July 2023 and has become a key player, making 120 appearances, scoring 30 goals and providing 14 assists. In the most recent season he recorded 16 goals and six assists and was part of the squad that won the 2025 Carabao Cup. He said, “It feels great to sign this new contract so early before the new season starts… I’m delighted to continue.” Head coach Eddie Howe called the deal “well deserved” and praised Barnes for his consistency and potential for more impact.
The contract length was not disclosed, but the extension secures one of the club’s leading attacking options as Newcastle prepares for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
