Newcastle United have now completed their Academy revamp after appointing 13 new staff members to aid the club's youth recruitment drive.
Throughout 2023, the Magpies have slowly changed the dynamics behind the scenes at Little Benton with the overhaul driven by sporting director Dan Ashworth. After some tough years for both the Under-18s and Under-21s, Ashworth is hoping that the club's long-term investment will pay off.
United named Paul Midgley as head of youth recruitment earlier this year after the North-East native came in from Manchester City. Academy supremo Midgley was joined by Paul McLaren who also has experience at City and Arsenal and came in as head of UK scouting.
