Defender completes Newcastle transfer

Right back Danny Simpson has completed made his loan move to Newcastle to United permanent and has signed a 3 year deal.

The 23 year old had a promising start to his United career. His Premier League debut against Wigan United resulted in him creating the 4th and final goal for Wayne Rooney with a well delivered cross.

However with Neville, Rafael, Brown and O’Shea to compete with, he was never likely to cement his place in the first team and has instead chosen to move to Championship leaders Newcastle.

“We’re delighted to complete a deal for Danny,” boss Chris Hughton told the club’s official website.

“He’s a player who has been with us since the summer and has played a key role during the first half of the season.

“Danny is a very popular lad in the dressing room and he took no time at all to settle in.
