Shearer to sign extension
By Matthew Jones

Alan Shearer will be wearing black and white until he is at least 35, after signing a two year contract extension keeping him at St James' Park until 2005.

Shearer has one year of his current deal remaining and will sign the extension when he returns from his summer break.

A Newcastle insider told the Sunday Mirror: "We would love Alan Shearer to go on for another 10 years. That isn't going to happen, obviously, but he has at least a couple of seasons left in him.

"We want to make sure after his performances this season that he finishes his career at Newcastle. Alan has indicated that he wants a new deal and as far as the board are concerned that won't be a problem."
