Midfielder plans Toon swansong
Newcastle United, 16:23, December 17, 2008 ,
Nicky Butt is set to take up Newcastle's one-year contract offer and says he hopes to finish his career at St James' Park.
The ex-Man Utd midfielder was one of four players to receive new deal offers from the club this week and has indicated he is willing to accept the terms.
And, at 34, Butt is looking ahead and says he wants to finish his career in the black and white stripes.
"My feelings are that I'd like to stay at the club until the end of my career," he said.
"Hopefully we can sort that out, the sooner the better really.
"As soon as the contract is OK for me and the club, I'm happy to sign."
