Defender Lewis Hall has admitted that he is delighted after it was confirmed that he has now joined Newcastle United on a permanent basis from CHELSEA

The 19-year-old full-back has signed a long-term contract at St. James’ Park after impressing in his 22 appearances for the Magpies during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring twice.

And after the move was officially confirmed – the defender has opened up and revealed that he is proud and excited to carry on his adventure with Newcastle – Lewis Hall said: “I am extremely proud to be able to build on last season and continue my journey at Newcastle United. The fans, the manager and his staff, my teammates and everyone at the club have made me feel so welcome that I want to repay the faith they’ve shown in me.
