Newcastle have already found exciting 16-year-old wonderkid who has trained with the first team

Newcastle United youngster Lewis Miley has followed in the footsteps of Sean Longstaff after being presented with the Jack Hixon award at Sport Newcastle's annual dinner.

On a night where Elliot Anderson won the Wor Jackie trophy, Miley was named Tyneside's most promising youngster after taking home the Jack Hixon award. Miley, in the process, joined Longstaff, Freddie Woodman and Adam Armstrong as winners of the gong, which is named after the legendary scout who discovered Alan Shearer.

It is the latest milestone for the teenager, who signed a full-time scholarship last July. Miley has already trained with Newcastle's first team and the highly-rated 16-year-old was named among the substitutes for the Magpies' pre-season friendlies against Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao last summer.
