Former Newcastle talent with 'bags of potential' released by new club after just three months

Former Newcastle United academy star Reagan Thomson is on the lookout for another new club after being released for the second time this year. The Scottish teenager joined Hamilton Academical in August, but has been let go after three months without making a single senior appearance.

Newcastle saw off competition from Celtic and Rangers to land Thomson from Queens Park in January 2020, in a deal reportedly worth up to £90,000. The young midfielder had already made his first-team breakthough at the age of 16, and also attracted interest from other English clubs.
