Newcastle United are stepping up their search for the 'next generation of talent' as the Magpies recruit academy scouts across the country to potentially help save millions in the long run.
Newcastle are bringing in part-time youth talent spotters in London, the South West, East Anglia, the Midlands, the North West and Yorkshire. According to the job description, these 'experienced and innovative regional scouts' will be responsible for finding the 'next generation of talent' in England.
Unearthing the best players coming through is all the more important for Newcastle given how difficult it now is to recruit youngsters from abroad. Brexit has prevented English clubs from being able to work with foreign imports until they are 18 and, even then, these prospects still need to qualify for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE).
