Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is happy seeing Emil Krafth sign a new deal.
The Swede defender penned a new deal to 2025 this week.
Howe said: "He's very dependable and a really good trainer and player. He's very reliable and I can't speak highly enough of him in the sense of how he handled his injury.
"He was in good form and had a powerful end to the (2021/22) season when we were trying to avoid relegation and performed really well towards the end of that campaign. He then got the (anterior cruciate ligament) injury and worked his way back throughout pre-season and has looked as good as new.
"That's not easy to do after the injury he had so he fully deserves his contract and he's got a big part to play in our future."
