Longstaff was delighted to have his future sorted and secured —
from the club’s official website:

“It took a bit longer than I’d hoped but I’m really happy it’s done now. I can’t wait to get back to playing at a full St James’ Park hopefully soon.

“I spoke to [manager] Steve Bruce and we talked through it and it was a no-brainer after I spoke to him. He gave me my chance and I’m really looking forward to working with him and his coaching staff, who were all great with me.”
