It was a positive week for those Newcastle loan stars in action over the past seven days.
Newcastle’s complement of loan players away from the club currently stands at three players although that number is expected to grow before the end of August.
The most eye-catching loan departure was that of loan forward Dwight Gayle who scored his first West Brom goal this weekend.
It was also a positive week for Josef Yarney as the defender made his debut for Morecambe.
Below is a full round-up of how Newcastle’s loan players fared this week.
The 28-year-old bagged West Brom’s fourth goal of the afternoon, tucking home from close range following Kieran Gibbs’ cutback.
Gayle, who was an unused substitute in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over Luton in the Carabao Cup, was then replaced in the 83rd minute and he will hope to score goals on a regular basis for Darren Moore’s side now he is off the mark.
Jack Colback played the full 90 minutes on Saturday as Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 away at Wigan Athletic.
The midfielder picked up a yellow card during the game which saw Matty Cash fire in a last-minute equaliser for the Reds.
The 28-year-old was an unused substitute in Forest’s Carabao Cup penalty shootout win over Bury. Their prize, ironically, was a second-round clash with Newcastle.
Josef Yarney made his debut for Morecambe this week, playing two full games for the Shrimpers.
Unfortunately, both matches ended in defeat as Morecambe were beaten 3-1 by Preston in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before losing out 1-0 at Stevenage in League Two on Saturday.
The 20-year-old centre-half picked up a yellow card in Saturday’s defeat but will look to build on the experience gained by being involved with Newcastle’s first-team during pre-season.
