Kieron Dyer says that he loves it at Newcastle and has pledged his future to the Magpies, saying, "I will never leave the Geordies." The pacey midfielder is hoping to get back on form for Newcastle after an iffy start, and hopes to shoot the Magpies back towards the lofty heights of the Premiership.



Dyer has been consistently been linked with moves away from St James' Park in the past, which has been a scare for all Toon fans, who see him as a key player.

Apparently he was singled out for special praise from Juventus hot-shot Alessandro del Piero after the sides' midweek meeting in the UEFA Champions League.

However, Dyer says he would see out his playing career playing for Newcastle with joy and has been speaking to The News of The World.

He said: "I want to win silverware at Newcastle and when that happens, there will be some party. I want to be part of that.

"I am never going to leave the Geordies."

Speaking on Del Piero's words of praise he added,

"It's a great honour and I'm proud someone like del Piero should say things like that about me. But I love Newcastle and the fans have taken me to their heart. There's no reason to leave.

"Since I've been here, I have become and England international. I have a great contract and a great lifestyle."
