The 25-year-old, who made 27 appearances and scored four goals for the Magpies and made his debut against Manchester City in August 2014, came through the Little Benton Academy and had previously been with Bristol City's youth system.

The former England under-20 international spent the first half of the 2019/20 campaign on loan at Wycombe Wanderers before linking up with Scottish Premiership outfit Motherwell for the remainder of the term.

He'd also had loan spells with Hellas Verona in Italy, Slovan Liberec in the Czech Republic and Sheffield Wednesday. The club wishes him well for the future.
