The 23-year-old spent time on loan with The Heed in 2022/23.
He joined the Magpies in July 2021.
A former Manchester City and England Youth international captain, he skippered the likes of Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho during an eleven-year rise through City’s academy.
Having left City for Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2019, he captained the Molinuex outfit’s under-23s on several occasions while helping them to the league title.
The following season he was included in the first-team’s pre-season tour, but an untimely ankle injury dented his chances of breaking into Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans for the 2019/20 Premier League campaign.
Following a Covid-curtailed loan move to Swiss side Grasshoppers, he took the brave decision to cancel his Molineux contract in pursuit of first-team action elsewhere.
This paved the way for a move to League Two side Harrogate Town in December 2020, where he made a positive impression in his 20 appearances - albeit in a less favourable role.
