🚨 Kieran Trippier told me in our post-match interview what his son said to him as they saw the @worflags display at his final home game for Newcastle United:
🗣️ I was emotional when I walked out and saw the display. My son said to me, Daddy can you see yourself over there? And it got to me a little bit!! I took it all in - but it’s only now that I think about it.”
🗣️ “I appreciate the supporters so much how they’ve treated me from the start till now. Amanda and Mehrdad and the gaffer Eddie Howe for bringing me here.
🗣️ “It’s been magical. The supporters. The players. The whole club. I’ve had 4 wonderful years here.”
It’s beautiful and touching. 😢💔
🏴 Elliot Anderson laid flowers and a shirt in tribute to his mum, who sadly passed away this week. 🕊️🙏
We're all with you, Elliot. ❤️
Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍
After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.
Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.
