Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan believes Jamal Lewis' omission from Newcastle's 25-man squad spells the end of his time on Tyneside.
The Northern Ireland international has struggled for game time this season and has been left out of Eddie Howe's squad for the remainder of the season, following the loan arrival of Matt Targett.
Lewis was once linked with a move to Liverpool after bursting on to the scene at Norwich City.
