Signs new six-year contract
Miley signed a new six-year contract with Newcastle United until 2032, committing his long-term future to his boyhood club, the club announced.
Analysis: Miley joined the Academy aged seven and has gone on to become the club's youngest ever appearance maker in both the Premier League and Champions League, also holding the club record for youngest goalscorer in both competitions. Miley made 34 appearances during the 2025/26 campaign, adapting seamlessly to a new right-back role and ending the season with the highest number of minutes played by any English teenager in the Premier League, taking his overall tally to 80 appearances for the club across all competitions. His towering header away at Bayer Leverkusen earlier this season broke Hugo Viana's Champions League record that had stood since 2002, further cementing his place in the club's history. Coach Eddie Howe praised his versatility, brilliant attitude and willingness to embrace new roles as key qualities that make him a dream to work with, while sporting director Ross Wilson expressed confidence that the best is still to come from a player who joined as a young boy with a dream and is rapidly fulfilling his enormous potential.
Undergoes successful surgery
Miley (leg) suffered a broken leg during Tuesday's training session after slipping with no other players involved and has undergone surgery, ruling him out for a few months with hopes of being available in and around pre-season, according to coach Eddie Howe. "It was an innocuous moment, he was training on Tuesday, he slipped, no other player was involved. He was unable to continue, and it was a little more serious than we thought. The surgery went well, he now faces a few months out, we hope he will be back in and around pre-season. It is a shame as he was playing well, a real blow for us."
Analysis: Miley ends his season three games short having contributed one goal and four assists across 23 appearances including 15 starts, with the midfielder having been in fine form across four consecutive starts before the freak training accident. The surgery has gone well and the club is optimistic about having him back for pre-season, but it is a cruel end to what had been a breakthrough campaign for the young Newcastle midfielder. Kieran Trippier is expected to start at right-back for the remaining fixtures in his absence.
