Newcastle United have handed a new contract to defensive starlet Steven Logan, Sky Sports understands.

The 17-year-old has come through the youth ranks at St James' Park and has already played for the club's reserve side.

Carlisle-born Logan has also made his debut for Scotland's Under-17s this season as he makes excellent progress.

Newcastle have now recognised Logan's potential and rewarded his progression with a two-and-a-half-year deal.

"Steven is delighted to have committed his future to Newcastle," his agent Gordon Reid told Sky Sports.
