The 21-year old today agreed a new deal with the Magpies, with Gudjon Thordarson looking to give the striker a chance to prove his fitness once and for all before a decision is finally made upon his long-term future.
The former tradesmen has been unlucky with injury throughout his Magpies career, with his 2004/05 campaign cut short due to a broken leg picked up on the final day of the 2003/04 campaign against Oldham, and thus made just three starts over the campaign gone by.
