Shay Given has revealed he would be happy to spend the rest of his career at Newcastle.

 

The Republic of Ireland international is in his tenth year at St James' Park after arriving from Blackburn.

 

Given has established himself as one of the best keepers in England during his time at the club with a number of consistent performances on Tyneside.

 

The 31-year-old still has four years to run on his current contract and he says he would be happy to extend it to keep him at St James' Park.

 

"I have got four years left on my contract and I will definitely be here for them - and hopefully a few more beyond that," Given told the club's official website.

 

"But we will have to see how my body holds up before I start thinking about another 10.

 

"When I signed, I knew I was coming to a huge football club.

 

"It's a special place to play football, what with the fans and the stadium, and hopefully we will be able to win something while I'm here because you can just imagine what the place would be like."
