Newcastle United sign Jamal Lewis from Norwich City on five-year deal

Newcastle United have signed Northern Irish full-back Jamal Lewis from Norwich City for £15-million.

“Highly-rated full-back Jamal Lewis has become Newcastle United’s fifth signing of the summer after joining the Magpies from Norwich City,” Newcastle said in a statement.

“The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international has signed a five-year contract at St. James’ Park after earning rave reviews for his performances last season despite the Canaries’ relegation from the Premier League.

“Lewis, who started his youth career with his hometown club, Luton, before joining Norwich’s Academy in 2014, won a Sky Bet Championship title-winners’ medal with the East Anglian side in 2018/19 and was also named in the league’s Team of the Season before further enhancing his reputation in the top flight last term.

“He is the third full international to join Newcastle United this week, following England forward Callum Wilson and Scotland star Ryan Fraser, whose signatures were confirmed on Monday.”
