It has been an honor to collaborate with some extraordinary individuals and be a part of the club. “I am departing at a time that is mutually beneficial for the club and myself, particularly in light of the imminent departure of Darren Eales, with whom I have collaborated extensively throughout my professional career.” The club is in an excellent position to continue its development, both on and off the field.
I extend my best wishes to all individuals associated with Newcastle United for a prosperous and promising future.
