Ciaran Clark has bid an emotional farewell to Newcastle United supporters on social media. A six-year stint on Tyneside came to an end on Wednesday when the defender completed a loan move to Sheffield United.
With one year left on his Magpies deal, the switch effectively ends his time at St James’ Park. Eddie Howe omitted Clark from his 25-man Premier League squad in February following Dan Burn’s arrival.
The 32-year-old was named player of the season in 2016-17 after securing promotion to the Premier League. Alongside Jamaal Lascelles, Clark forged a defensive partnership that helped stabilise United in the top flight.
