Eddie Howe has already stressed he is keen for Lewis Miley to remain at Newcastle United next season after hailing the teenager as an 'exciting talent'. The academy graduate made his senior debut from the bench in the final-day draw at Chelsea, and came close to netting a memorable winner after seeing his late effort clip the crossbar.
It was almost a perfect end to a memorable campaign for Miley, who only made his debut at under-21 level several months prior. Having netted four goals in his first four appearances for the second-string, the teenager was one of five academy prospects to join Howe's squad for the mid-season training camp in Saudi Arabia.
Miley signed his first professional contract last month after celebrating his 17th birthday, and was included in the final three Premier League matchday squads. Following his encouraging cameo against Chelsea, Howe does not want to burden the attacking midfielder with too much 'expectation' but would like to continue working with him at senior level in the new season.
