Newcastle United youngster Ben Parkinson may have just turned 18-years-old but he's impressed after stepping up to the Under-21s. The young striker was one of the standout performers for Ben Dawson's Under-21s in their goalless draw with Middlesbrough in the Tyne-Tees derby last weekend.
Parkinson has scored ten goals in 20 appearances for the young Magpies across a number of age groups with two assists in the Under-18 Premier League. Combative and agile, the young forward caused Middlesbrough problems last week and he's already impressed Dawson with his performances in Premier League 2 Division 2.
The youngster has trained with Eddie Howe's first team on a handful of occasions and he's hoping to follow the likes of Elliot Anderson and Sean Longstaff in making the step up to the senior side.
