“Since coming on board in 2010/11, PUMA has been an important and committed commercial partner and we look forward to strengthening our relationship into the next decade.”

Paul Spencer, general manager, PUMA UKIB, added: “The partnership we have with Newcastle United is an important one to PUMA as we continue to strengthen our brand presence in football.

“The long-term nature of the new contract demonstrates our commitment to the club and its fans. Newcastle United has a rich history with a loyal fan base and it’s a privilege to continue in our role as official kit supplier.”

The Magpies’ players will be wearing the new 2014/15 during the training session before it is worn for the first time in competitive action for the visit of Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday (17th August).
