Ben Parkinson joins Falkirk

The 20-year-old, who joined the Magpies' Academy aged seven, progressed through the club's youth system and signed his first professional contract in 2023.

He made his Premier League debut later that year, featuring as a second-half substitute against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The Durham-born forward scored eight goals in 11 Premier League 2 appearances last season, as well as netting against Bradford City in the EFL Trophy.

He will now link up with John McGlynn's side who currently sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership following promotion in the 2024/25 season.

Everyone at the Academy and across the football club would like to thank Ben for his commitment and professionalism throughout his time with Newcastle United. We wish him the very best of luck as he takes the next step in his career.
