Newcastle United supporters have wished Jeff Hendrick luck with his season-long loan move to Championship side Reading. The Magpies midfielder has found regular game time hard to come by after the arrival of Eddie Howe and spent the second half of last term on loan with Queens Park Rangers, where he made ten appearances in the Championship.
Hendrick has made 27 appearances in the black and white shirt of Newcastle since joining the club from Burnley in August 2020, scoring three times. He was one of four first team players ordered to train with the reserves after being told he has no part to play in Howe's plans.
Ciaran Clark, Dwight Gayle and Matty Longstaff were the other trio, although the latter of the three played against Gateshead FC in their first pre-season fixture. Clark is being linked with a loan move to Sheffield United while Gayle has been touted for a move to Middlesbrough.
