Newcastle United will sign Irish forward Kyle Fitzgerald on his 18th birthday on 28th January 2025 after impressing on a recent trial, according to The Chronicle.

Fitzgerald has already made his debut for Galway United at senior level and has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at youth level. The hope for Fitzgerald is to follow in the footsteps of Alex Murphy who also signed from the Irish club at 18 and is now pushing for a first team place.

Good to see but as we all know, we could do with some first team strengthing.

However, I'll never fault getting these players in for the future.
