Lewis Miley broke into the Newcastle United first team mainly as a result of an injury and suspension crisis in the 23/24 season.

With Tonali serving a long term ban for betting on football and with the club suffering a host of long term injuries including to Joelinton and Willock it was a case of needs must for the 17 year old.

He would hold his own at the top level though playing 26 times that season, including three Champions League games.
