Jamal Lewis signed by Newcastle from Norwich

Northern Ireland left-back is Magpies’ fifth acquisition of the summer, moving to St James’ Park on a five-year deal

Newcastle United have announced the signing of Jamal Lewis from Norwich City.

The 22-year-old left-back moves to Newcastle on a five-year deal after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.

The Northern Ireland international is Steve Bruce’s fifth senior signing of the summer, after Mark Gillespie, Jeff Hendrick, Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser.

“Jamal is a very exciting prospect,” Bruce, the Newcastle head coach, told the club’s official website.

“I watched him flourish in the Championship two years ago and he made a real fist of it in the Premier League last season.

“He is only 22 years old and has a wonderful future ahead of him so I hope he is a Newcastle United full-back for years to come.”

Lewis made 28 Premier League appearances for Norwich in 2019/20, scoring once.

Newcastle open their Premier League campaign at West Ham United on Saturday.
