Former England right-back Kieran Trippier will leave Newcastle at the end of the season when his contract expires, the Premier League club announced on Saturday.
The 35-year-old defender joined from Atlético Madrid in January 2022 as a major signing shortly after the north-eastern club, then in the relegation zone, was bought by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund genin3ns.
Trippier has made more than 150 appearances for Newcastle – scoring four goals – during his four-and-a-half year spell at St James’ Park, helping the team win the English League Cup for its first major trophy in 70 years and also qualify for the Champions League twice in the last three years.

“This is where I felt most at home,” says Trippier. “It’s emotional and I’m really going to miss it.”
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said Trippier «helped to promote standards that changed the trajectory of the club.»
“His leadership skills have been invaluable,” Howe said. “In difficult moments, his experience proved soothing and his drive and will to win has inspired the players to keep moving forward.”
Newcastle have seven games left this season, all in the Premier League.
