5 Players Who Have Represented Newcastle And Northampton Town
4. Ivan Toney
Newcastle's next great hope... The 19-year-old forward reportedly failed a medical at Wolverhampton Wanderers last year, scuppering a move to the Black Country, but eventually finalised a transfer to Tyneside after impressing during a two-day trial with the Magpies. He signed a long-term deal with the club earlier this summer. He became the fourth of five Magpies summer signing joining Georginio Wijnaldum, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Chancel Mbemba and latterly Florian Thauvin in moving to Tyneside during this window. Toney made 53 Northampton appearances after making his debut at the age of 16 back in 2012, netting 11 Football League goals. He was the youngest player ever to represent the Cobblers. Impressive stuff no matter what the level. To date, he has one U21 outing to his name at Newcastle, impressing during a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers' U21 and will be hoping for his first senior 'cap' against his old side.
