NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle midfielder Joelinton has signed a long-term contract extension with the Premier League club.

The Brazilian arrived from Hoffenheim in 2019 and has made 179 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 25 goals.

Newcastle, which is eighth in the league, did not give further details of the deal in a statement on Thursday.

“I feel very happy and my family is happy,” the 27-year-old Joelinton told the club website. “A lot of things have happened in my years here. I’ve learnt a lot and grown a lot, and for me to come here to Newcastle was the best decision of my career.”

Joelinton was part of the Newcastle side that reached the English League Cup final last season and earned qualification for the Champions League for the first time in two decades.

He has not featured for the Magpies since January because of injury and has subsequently undergone thigh surgery.

The most boring and ponderous team to watch but you have to be in it to win it and Southgate’s side are still there somehow. Being fun to watch is great but playing badly and winning is not a terrible habit to have in knockout football. Might be wishful thinking but surely they have to play better at some point. Then they might still be dangerous.

Cristiano Ronaldo cries only for himself – his preening for Portugal is inexcusable
“Inexplicable moments,” declared Cristiano Ronaldo, as portentously as you would expect from a man who earns £2.5 million for each Instagram message sent to his 633 million followers. It was perhaps the politest way he could have described his own performance during Portugal’s victory over Slovenia. A more fitting label, as you watched him designate every free-kick for himself and throw his arms about in disgust as Petar Stojanovic had the temerity to dispossess him, was “inexcusable”.
