Newcastle United official announcement – Three England Under 18 internationals agree deals | OneFootball

A trio of England Under 18 internationals have agreed deals with Newcastle United.

An official announcement (see below) by the club on Tuesday afternoon revealing the news.

Newcastle United stating that Trevan Sanusi (pictured above), Sean Neave and Leo Shahar have all committed to new contracts.

No mention by the club of how long the contracts are, but earlier today in a media exclusive, The Mail said that Sean Neave had agreed a three year deal. My assumption is that this will be the case with all of the trio, who are three of United’s brightest young prospects.

Newcastle United official announcement – 17 June 2025:

‘Newcastle United is pleased to confirm that Academy trio Sean Neave, Leo Shahar and Trevan Sanusi have signed new deals with the club.

Neave, who was named on the bench for United’s Carabao Cup final victory against Liverpool, joined the club’s Academy as a 13-year-old and signed his first professional deal with the club last summer.

He was named in a first-team matchday squad for the first time during Newcastle’s Emirates FA Cup fourth round victory against Birmingham City after impressing at youth level, where he scored two minutes into his full Premier League 2 debut for United’s under-21 side during a 3-1 away win against Leeds United in November 2024.

Shahar and Sanusi, who are both capped by England at under-18 level, signed their first professional contracts with the club in May 2024 following moves from Wolves and Birmingham City respectively.

Academy Director Steve Harper said: “Sean, Leo and Trevan have shown great promise and we’re delighted to see them continue their journey with us.

“Each of them has shown great commitment and potential, and we look forward to supporting their development as they take the next steps in their careers.”

Meanwhile, Joe Brayson, Logan Watts and Luke Craggs have signed their first professional contracts with the club.

Sam Alabi, Michael Mills and Sammy Pinnington have agreed first-year scholarships, while Thomas Bryant’s scholarship has been extended into a third year.

Harper added: “It’s always a proud moment to see young players progress their careers and earn their first professional contracts.
