Dwight Gayle calls time on Newcastle United career as he joins Stoke City

Dwight Gayle has signed on the dotted line for Stoke City with the striker bringing the curtain down on his time at St James' Park.

The 32-year-old departs on a permanent deal with Newcastle able to negotiate a deal with the Potters despite the experienced forward having two years left on his current deal. Gayle has been told to train with the Under-21 team after barely featured last season.

Gayle, who has signed a two-year contract with Stoke, said: “I’m buzzing to be here and I can’t wait to get started now. There were a few parties that were interested but for me it was about finding a club that was right for me and after speaking to the gaffer and the coaches I heard everything I wanted to hear.”
