The former Hibs 'keeper moved to St James' Park last season and is as an understudy to Shay Given and Steve Harper.

Robson said: "We have let John Karelse go and while we have some excellent young keepers coming through, we still felt we needed a third experienced keeper as cover for Shay Given and Steve Harper. "We have offered Tony Caig a contract and it goes without saying we hope he signs it."
