Newcastle United’s Academy has established a new partnership with Northern Ireland league champions Larne Football Club.
The ‘strategic relationship’ will allow Newcastle and Larne to work together and developing pathways into the first-team. There is also the potential for young players to move between clubs in either direction.
This is the first club partnership Newcastle have had since Dan Ashworth’s appointment as sporting director last summer. The club are also looking at feeder clubs across Europe to aid the first-team in a ‘multi-club’ system. Belgian side KV Oostende have been targeted by Newcastle’s owners.
But it is hoped that this latest partnership will help the club at the academy level.
