Newcastle United official Callum Wilson announcement – 7 July 2025:

‘To all you Magpies…

It’s time to say goodbye after an unbelievable few years in the Toon.

Thank you for everything. We stood strong together through the highs and some lows to help the club experience new heights.

I am so proud to have worn the iconic number 9 shirt and to have added a little more history to it. Scoring at the Gallowgate End really is as special as they say.

All good things come to an end but there’s no doubt Newcastle United will always have a place in mine and my families hearts.
