Newcastle appear to be set to make yet another behind-the-scenes appointment. It’s one that could pay massive dividends for the future of the club as it involves youth recruitment.
Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Paul Midgley will become the new Head of Youth Recruitment at St. James’ Park. Midgley had been a northern youth scout with Manchester City since August.
Newcastle have reached an agreement to hire Paul Midgley as Head of Youth Recruitment — joining from Man City where he was regional scout. ????? #NUFC
Agreement in place and deal done as Newcastle want to improve all club’s areas.
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) November 26, 2022
This could be an excellent appointment for Newcastle. Midgley is a well-respected judge of young talent. Prior to joining City, he was Leeds United’s Head of Academy Recruitment where he oversaw the signings of players aged 12 to 16.
Midgley will oversee a critical aspect of Newcastle’s rise back to prominence. The talent scout should come ready with a number of domestic names after focusing on the north for the defending Premier League champions.
Newcastle have also been linked with a number of foreign youth targets in recent months. Many hail from South America with talent-rich Brazil a primary area of focus. Recently interest in Flamengo wonderkid Matheus Franca came to light.
Aussie talent Garang Kuol will be the first signing of the winter window with Newcastle primed to add more young talent. Kuol didn’t play in Australia’s 1-0 win over Tunisia today.

#71 it actually takes 2-3 weeks to acclimatise. But when it is a swing of 30degrees it vacant take months. Even a year to proper acclimatise.
Players from Scandinavia settle in the UK winter conditions with ease obviously. However player’s from KSA would struggle with the cold for potentially months or as long as a cold snap happened.
It’s pretty straight forward really.
I’ve completed cold and hot weather training in the past to acclimatise and be ready for a different environment, so I appreciate it’s difficulties.

Comment #96I played in a cricket match on the Pierfield, Berwick, one cold and windy April day. Probably would have benefited from some acclamation training beforehand.

Comment #98Peter,
#70 you stated “ Being English born, I use acclimatation.”
What is acclimatation? 😉
But you are right I should have typed a acclimatisation with an S not the Z. I blame this iPhone not me that pre types it the US way. My phone is from the US 😉

Comment #116See how the french try to stop english words further poisoning the French language?
Yea?
Weird, init!
I’m thinking our argot(see what i did there?)/lingo is our best export, ever…based on the fact that we allow all words in, hence, avoiding it becoming a dead language.
So, with that in mind… Welcome words from all over, come join the english language, the Lingua Franca!
No to restrictions!
