BREAKING: 5 Players Quits Newcastle [FULL LIST]—-NEWCASTLE UNITED have confirmed the departure of five first-team players – included their longest-serving star.

 

Experienced duo Paul Dummett, 32, and Matt Ritchie, 34, are both leaving once their contracts expire next month.

The pair have made almost 450 appearances for the Magpies.

 

Dummett was the club’s longest-serving player having joined their academy aged nine.

 

The Welsh international defender made his debut in January 2013 and made 215 appearances for his hometown team.

 

Ritchie joined from Bournemouth in 2016 and, alongside Dummett, played a huge role in Rafa Benitez’s Championship-winning side that season.

 

The Scottish ace scored 25 goals in 215 matches for the North East side.

Meanwhile, ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius is also heading out of the St. James’ Park exit door after 18 months on Tyneside.

 

The German, 30, made his debut in last season’s Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester United with his only other outing coming in the 4-1 defeat at Arsenal in the Premier League back in February.

 

Midfielder Jeff Kendrick, 32, will also leave Newcastle after four years.

 

The Republic of Ireland ace joined as a free agent from Burnley but only made 27 appearances and scored three times for the Toon.

 

He has been shipped out on loan to QPR and Reading before spending this campaign on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
