Dan Ashworth has spoken of Newcastle United's blueprint when it comes to signing young players following the arrival of Garang Kuol.
The Magpies have made an out of window addition to their squad with Garang Kuol coming in from Central Coast Mariners in January 2023.
Newcastle United sporting director, Dan Ashworth, said: "Garang is a very promising young talent and we are excited that he'll be continuing his development as a Newcastle United player.

"Our philosophy is to invest in our Academy and in exciting young players for the future, as well as in players required to make an immediate impact in the first team.
"We wish Garang the best of luck in his remaining games with Central Coast Mariners and we hope to see him on the international stage again very soon."
And the player himself added today: "It's unreal. As a young boy in Australia, the Premier League is the main thing that everyone watches but nobody actually thinks they'll reach those heights. To be one of those people, to be in the position I am, it's amazing.
"Now that I've signed for Newcastle, I want to train hard, play hard, hopefully, go to the World Cup and come back here."
