Former England right back Kieran Trippier will leave Newcastle at the end of the season when his contract expires, the Premier League club announced Saturday. The 35-year-old defender joined from Atlético Madrid in January 2022 as a marquee signing soon after the northeast club, then in the relegation zone, was bought by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. Trippier has made more than 150 appearances Newcastle — scoring four goals — during his four-and-a-half-year spell at St James’ Park, helping the team win the English League Cup for its first major trophy in 70 years and also qualify for the Champions League twice in the last three years.
