Sammy Ameobi has signed a new contract to remain at Newcastle United until June 2015.

The 19-year-old striker has made a place in Alan Pardew's first team since his debut in May.

"It is brilliant to get this new contract signed," he said. "Since I have been young it has always been my dream to play for Newcastle, and it has been an amazing last year for me, making my first-team debut and being involved in the squad.

"I love this club and would love to stay here for years to come."

Manager Pardew added: "We are delighted that Sammy has signed a new contract. He is a player of huge potential and talent, and it is always great to see homegrown players come through the system at the club.

"We have already seen glimpses of what he can do, and we hope Sammy can go on and make a real impact."

Ameobi made his England Under-21s debut against Iceland earlier this month.
