Newcastle United are close to completing an impressive new feature at the club's Benton base ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Work is close to completion on a plush new reception area at the Darsley Park complex with players soon to be checking in at brand new entrance area. The new reception will also be the first point of entry for summer signings as the club's facelift continues.
Since Eddie Howe arrived as manager he insisted on making the point of entrance for players "lighter and brighter" and also installed information screens that tell players what is in store in training during the week. The screens will now be installed in the new entrance building just a few yards from the old reception but insiders feel that refresh will give Newcastle a more professional look.
