Andy Carroll: "I’ve signed a five-year contract and I’m delighted with that.
"This is the club and the city for me, and always will be.
"If somebody told me that I could stay here for my whole career then I would be delighted.
"I’ve always said I just want to keep working hard for Newcastle United and doing the No 9 shirt justice.
"It’s a real honour to simply be called up for your country.
"But I have to give the credit to the manager Chris Hughton and my team-mates.
"Without them I wouldn’t be scoring the goals.
"Chris has been fantastic for me.
"And I just want to continue repaying his faith in me."
England manager Fabio Capello: "He is the classic English centre forward but he is good, also, technically.
"He’s a very interesting player. He is the future for our team."
