Newcastle United are ‘excited’ to have Elliot Anderson back at the club with the youngster set to be given a chance in pre-season. The 19-year-old impressed while on loan at Bristol Rovers last season, and Toon boss Eddie Howe is set to take a closer look at his first-team credentials.
The forward hit eight goals during his loan spell, including the one that sent Bristol Rovers up to League One, and his time at the Memorial Stadium is an example of a loan deal that proved beneficial for all parties. Newcastle’s loan manager, Shola Ameobi, has been impressed with Anderson’s form, and with Dan Ashworth now in place as Sporting Director is hoping for similar successes next season.
“Elliott, we helped facilitate and put him in the best position we can," Ameobi told Chronicle Live, "but then he has to go and do it, and he has shown that he has that mentality and quality to play at a very high level. We're excited as a club to have him back and see where he is at.
