Heskey has been nominated for the club's player-of-the-year award and the ex-Liverpool man wants to help his side into the top six nest season.

Heskey said: "I'm pleased to be extending my stay in Newcastle for another year.

"Everyone has made me feel very welcome here and I've really enjoyed my first season playing for the Jets.
