Scott Parker has backed Andy Howe to become a success at Newcastle in his new scouting role.
Howe, the nephew of Toon boss Eddie, left Bournemouth after 10 years to take up a position as part of Steve Nickson’s scouting network at St James’ Park.
DorsetLive claim Howe junior had attracted interest from other Premier League clubs but decided to join Newcastle and link up with his uncle.
