JONJO SHELVEY is set to trigger a £3million contract extension, according to reports.
The Toon star began the season with a hamstring injury, but has returned to action in recent weeks.
Boss Eddie Howe is a fan of the midfielder, whose contract expires at the end of the season.
According to the Mirror, one more appearance will trigger a one-year extension in the deal – worth £3m.
His next outing will be his 200th for Newcastle, and he outlined his happiness in the North East last summer.
