NEWCASTLE Jets striker Emile Heskey has announced he will play for the club again next season.
The former England and Liverpool star scored nine goals in 23 A-League appearances for the Jets.
Heskey told the Newcastle Jets awards night he would be back.
"Everything is agreed - I will be coming back next season," he said.
Heskey was nominated for the Jets' player of the year award along with captain Ruben Zadkovich and goalkeeper Mark Birighitti, who took out the award.
Jets owners the Hunter Sports Group welcomed Heskey's re-signing.
"Emile Heskey was not only a huge coup for the Club but for the A-League and we look forward to having him here with us again next season," Hunter Sports Group CEO Troy Palmer said.
"I can confirm he has agreed in principle to be with us next year and we are expecting to formalise that in the next few days.
"To have someone of his standing in the game re-sign with the Jets gives everyone at the club confidence in the direction we are heading."
