Newcastle United have handed a new deal to striking prospect Nile Ranger. The 18-year-old only signed for the Magpies last summer after they snapped him up from Southampton. He has been scoring on a regular basis for the club's youth and reserve sides and has also been included in the first-team squad. The club have now tied him down to a new three-and-half-year deal. "This past year has been a dream for me and it couldn't have gone any better," he told the club's official website. "I'm buzzing to sign a new contract and commit my future to the club because this is where I want to play my football."
