and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Newcastle opted to cut Miley’s loan spell at the League Two club short this week, triggering a January break clause on Monday that saw the 20-year-old return to Tyneside.
Miley joined Newport County on a planned season-long loan deal that has now been brought to a premature end after just three starts and three substitute appearances in League Two during an injury-hit spell. It was the 20-year-old’s first taste of competitive senior football having featured for Newcastle’s first-team in pre-season.

Hide AdMiley was at St James’ Park on Sunday as he watched his younger brother Lewis score in a 3-1 win for Newcastle against Bromley in the FA Cup third round. And he has now returned to action for Newcastle’s Under-21s side, starting the 4-2 Premier League 2 defeat at Southampton on Friday afternoon.
The match saw Garang Kuol score his first goal in Newcastle colours two years after his arrival from Central Coast Mariners - he is another player who could leave on loan this month.
Miley featured for Newcastle’s first team in pre-season, playing against Hull City, Urawa Red Diamonds and Girona before leaving on loan.
The 20-year-old has been subject to permanent transfer interest from various EFL clubs this month as Newcastle now prepare to make a decision on his future.

“We'll make decisions based on the players' needs and our needs. Jamie had an injury-hit period with Newport but is someone that we really respect.”
