First professional contract for the 17-year-old Lewis Miley with Eddie Howe at St. James' Park on his birthday, ten years after joining Newcastle United's Academy.

The teenage midfielder joined the Magpies' first team in the Diriyah Season Cup's victory against Al-Hilal in December and was named on the bench for Newcastle United's Premier League match against AFC Bournemouth in February.

Lewis Miley has scored two goals for Newcastle United's under-21s in his last eight Premier League matches and has ten international caps in his name.

He told NUFC: "It's a really good feeling to sign my first professional contract, especially with my boyhood club. It's something that I've dreamt of since I was a kid."

Steve Harper, Academy director, said: "Everyone at the Academy is delighted to see Lewis sign his first professional contract at the club. He’s been with us from a very early age and credit goes to everyone who has played a part to date.

"His hard work, attitude to learning, and training as well as his technical ability has got him to this point. The contract is a fitting reward for his progress."
