“At this stage of my career it’s all about getting more minutes in men’s football,” he told the Magpies after sealing his loan move.

“Working hard for the team out of possession is a big part of my game and if I can get on the same page as some of the other attacking players in the team, we’ll have a lot of fun.

“It’s always a great feeling when the fans respond to a trick or piece of skill, but first and foremost I want to be part of the team and earn my team-mates’ respect before showing that side of my game.

“I can see that this team will help me get a lot of opportunities in the final third – whether that’s to create or score – and that’s a real positive about coming here.

“Under the gaffer I can already tell I’m going to learn a lot. He’s very detailed in terms of where he wants me to be in and out of possession and, as a young lad, I think that’s what I need.
