Hope to see that El-Mhanni get a chance in the first team this season just because he's so interesting to watch. Some of his dribbling and footwork in the Darlington game was sensational.

Turned down invitation to the FL trophy

 

Newcastle United can confirm it has declined an invitation to take part in the 2016/17 EFL Trophy.

The Club was initially informed by the Premier League that it was not going to be invited to compete in the restructured competition.

Accordingly, the Club started to make plans with regard to the development squad for the coming season. These plans included the intention to loan out some of the players who are currently part of the under-23 squad, rather than allowing them to compete in the Premier League 2.

Changes to the loan system, which come into effect this season, mean all loans must now be completed on a window-to-window basis, with emergency and youth loans no longer permissible. These regulations are a contributory factor to the Club’s decision.

Though Newcastle United did subsequently receive an invite to compete in the EFL Trophy, the Club feels their younger players would be better served by going out on loan and gaining experience over an extended period in a first team environment.

Although Newcastle United supports the principle of the competition’s new format, participating in the EFL Trophy is not something the Club wishes to do this season.

Presume the Ben Harmison that scored the winner for Ashington against our U21s tonight is former Durham cricketer Ben Harmison, brother of Steve (Ashington manager)?

 

It is, he's played for them for a while.
