Newcastle, England (Sports Network) - Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has finally ended speculation about his future by signing a new three-year deal with Kevin Keegan's side.

The 22-year-old had only 12 months remaining on his previous contract and had been linked with transfers to Liverpool and Tottenham.

The former England Under-21 international made his debut for Newcastle in a 3-0 UEFA Cup win at Real Mallorca in 2004 and has made 121 first-team appearances for the club.
