Newcastle midfielder Nicky Butt has expressed his desire to finish his career with the club.

The former Manchester United man joined the club in July 2004 and has cemented his place in the team over the past few seasons.

Toon manager Joe Kinnear has offered Butt a new deal along with strikers Michael Owen and Shola Ameobi.

The 32-year-old has missed just two Premier League games this season under Kinnear and Butt is confident that the deal will be sorted shortly.

"My feelings are that I would like to stay at the club until the end of my career now and hopefully we can sort that out, the sooner the better really," he told the Daily Mail.

"As soon as the contract is OK for me and the club, I am happy to sign."
