Trippier to leave Newcastle at the end of season
After four-and-a-half years with Newcastle United, Kieran Trippier will be moving on from the Magpies when his contract expires in June.
The 35-year-old joined the Magpies from Atletico Madrid in January 2022 and helped Newcastle win its first domestic trophy in 70 years when it beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final last season.
The right-back also played a key role in seeing Newcastle qualify for the UEFA Champions League in two of the past three seasons, including a run to the Round of 16 this term.
"The time has come to leave this amazing club after four-and-a-half years. This is where I have felt most at home. It's emotional, and I'm really going to miss it," Trippier said.
"I want to say a massive thank you to the supporters for all the support through the good and the bad times. You've always supported me, always stood by me.
"To my team-mates, it's going to be emotional. It's been an amazing journey with you guys. I'm going to miss you all, but to win a trophy with you guys was really, really special – the best of my career.
"And to the manager, Eddie Howe, all the coaching staff and the team behind the scenes, a massive thank you.
"The gaffer had the trust – twice – to sign me, gave me the opportunity to represent and captain this great club and most importantly, we managed to win a trophy.
"I'm going to miss everyone at the club. Thank you."
Since his arrival in January 2022, Trippier has played the fifth-most minutes of any Newcastle player across all competitions, while he has provided the third-most assists (28) behind Jacob Murphy (29) and Bruno Guimaraes (30).
In the Premier League, Trippier has created 231 chances in a Newcastle shirt, more than any other defender since he joined the Magpies.
