Newcastle United youngster Alex Murphy has been called up to first-team training by Eddie Howe.
The 18-year-old arrived on Tyneside from Galway United last summer and has often featured for the Under-21s side, making 14 appearances in the Premier League 2 Division 2 with the young Magpies currently sitting ninth.
Ahead of their clash against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, the defender was pictured training with the first team. Murphy can be seen training alongside recently fit again Miguel Almiron.
