Kieran Trippier and Newcastle United to part ways this summer Kieran joined the Magpies from Atlético Madrid in January 2022 and has made an immense contribution on and off the pitch in four-and-a-half years at St. James' Park. Arriving with the club in the Premier League's relegation places, he has helped Newcastle United to achieve UEFA Champions League qualification twice in the last three seasons.

He also played the full 90 minutes at Wembley as the Magpies beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 2025 Carabao Cup final. As a key member of the first team leadership group, he lifted the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years alongside captain Bruno Guimarães. Ahead of the final seven matches of the current Premier League season, Kieran has made more than 150 appearances for Newcastle United, scoring four goals.

He has also amassed 54 senior international caps for England. Kieran said: "The time has come to leave this amazing club after four-and-a-half years. This is where I have felt most at home.

It's emotional, and I'm really going to miss it. "I want to say a massive thank you to the supporters for all the support through the good and the bad times for me personally. You've always supported me, always stood by me.

"To my teammates, it's going to be emotional. It's been an amazing journey with you guys. I'm going to miss you all, but to win a trophy with you guys was really, really special - the best of my career.
