Jonjo Shelvey enjoyed an eventful seven-year career at Newcastle United. There were lows but also a lot of highs that will live long in the memory of supporters.
A tough, no-nonsense midfielder with a knack for producing the spectacular, whether that be a pass or a goal, Shelvey was tailor-made for St James’ Park. The 30-year-old spent the bulk of his career on Tyneside and leaves with the full support of the Toon faithful.
A relegation battle awaits at Forest, a scenario Shelvey is accustomed to having helped Newcastle stay afloat for five consecutive seasons. Had he played two more games for the Magpies, the midfielder would have triggered a one-year extension.
