Newcastle boss outlines next step for teenage wonderkid after award win and 'positive start'

Teenage wonderkid Lewis Miley needs to stay 'hungry' and 'humble' to build upon his 'positive start' at Newcastle United. That is the view of Elliott Dickman, with the U21s boss expressing his hope that the 16-year-old will be given more chances to impress Eddie Howe in first-team training.

Miley has enjoyed a fine start to the campaign, and made his second start for the second-string in the narrow defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday night. It was a difficult evening for the hosts, but the tricky winger showed glimpses of the talent which has generated excitement around the club.

Miley earned a call-up to England under-17s last month and scored for his country against Finland in the Nordic Championships. The teenager was rewarded for his progress with the Jack Hixon award last week, which is handed out each year to Tyneside's most promising youngster.
