Newcastle United striker Dylan Stephenson has agreed a deal to join Hamilton Academical on loan until the end of the season.
The striker impressed Eddie Howe during the club's tour of Saudi Arabia and netted after coming off the bench in the 5-0 win over Al-Hilhal. But now the backroom staff at United want to see Stephenson get some experience in the Scottish Championship.

Stephenson had a watching brief for Accies' Scottish Cup fourth round tie at home to Ross County today but is expected to join up with the squad next week for training.
Stephenson won't be short of company at New Douglas Park with Toon midfielder Lucas De Bolle also on loan at the club.
De Bolle has made half a dozen appearances for Hamilton this term after shaking off early injury worries.
