“I am very proud. Me and my family are Newcastle fans, and for me and my brother growing up, it was drilled into us that we were Newcastle. It’s a big club, and I can’t wait to get started. I got a lot of experience last year in some big fixtures, and I was really proud of the way I progressed as a player and a person. To now be here at Newcastle, the club that I’ve supported since I was a kid, I’m honored and very proud to wear this shirt. It’s very exciting. When you look back on last season and the way the team performed – not just the results, but the performances the team were putting in, it was amazing. There’s so many talented players, and we’ve got the Champions League now as well, so there’s many different competitions that I know the team will be wanting to do well in, and hopefully get a trophy or two as well.”
This exciting transfer marks the beginning of a new chapter in Lewis Hall’s promising career, as he embarks on this journey with Newcastle United, a club close to his heart.
