Newcastle beat off the attention of several top clubs to sign him ... so what has gone wrong under Alan Pardew?
The kid had a poor 2013/14 and is up for sale.
However, he made an appearance for Newcastle United’s Under-21s last night and found the back of the net.
He and Tom Heardman scored to claim a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of a crowd of 496 at St James’s Park.
Bigirimana scored in the 21st minute from just inside the box.
The 20-year-old could be loaned out to a Football League club in the emergency loan window, having been told he has no future at the club.
NEWCASTLE UNITED: Alnwick, Williams (Olley), Ferguson, Abeid, Streete, Satka, Gilliead (Roberts), Bigirimana, Heardman, Barlaser, Ameobi (Gillesphey).
