Newcastle United have added Norwich City's Josh Appleyard to their backroom staff as Positional Analyst.
Appleyard will look at both emerging talent between 16 and 21 and possible first-team players. He is expected to work closely with Andy Howe who is currently the club's Head of Technical scouting.
Appleyard has previously held a similar position at Hull City where he spent five years. Appleyard's role will be to provide video analysis.
