Enrique happy to stay
Newcastle United, 12:54, May 30, 2009 ,
Jose Enrique has become the latest Newcastle player to commit his future to the club despite relegation from the Premier League.
The full-back was linked with a move back to Spain following the Magpies' defeat at Aston Villa last weekend that confirmed their exit from the top flight.
However, the 23-year-old says he is happy to stay on at St James' Park and believes Newcastle can bounce straight back up and compete with the likes of Villa again in the not too distant future.
"No-one likes to play in the Championship but I'm only thinking about fulfilling my contract," he said.
"The team has a great budget and I am sure that if they do things well from the beginning, we can create a team of the level of Aston Villa.
"I like the city and I am very happy in England. Today, I see myself playing next season at Newcastle."
Damien Duff and Steven Taylor have also already insisted they will stay on next season despite relegation.
