He was also named on the bench in four Premier League fixtures under Eddie Howe last season.

De Bolle joined Newcastle’s academy in 2015 and has progressed through the ranks to captain the Under-21s side while also training with the first team on several occasions.

The Scottish born midfielder reacted to his new deal as he told the club website: “I'm very happy to sign my new deal at a club where I have played for the last six years and the club me and my family have always supported.

"I have always dreamt of playing in the Premier League with Newcastle and this contract is a step in that direction and hopefully in the future I can do that.
