Newcastle United legend Bob Moncur joins Magpies squad in China

Newcastle United have added Bobby Moncur to their travelling party for the pre-season trip to China.

Moncur will continue in his role as ambassador and take part in community events in Nanjing as well as meeting fans in the Far East.

All four participating clubs will have some legends on board with Moncur joined by Man City's Mike Summerbee and Paul Dickov, Wolves' Steve Bull and West Ham's Carlton Cole.

United will fly out to Nanjing at the weekend with their first game against Wolves at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre.

The Premier League will also be holding a series of events during the week long Asian Trophy event.

Moncur accompanied Newcastle in 2014 for their trip to New Zealand and travelled with the team during the 2015/16 season during his stint as club director.

The former defender has just returned from a series of events in Budapest after celebrating the 50th anniversary of winning the Fairs Cup.
