Callum Walsh will succeed Jamie Harley in the role, according to Training Ground Guru.

Harley left Newcastle in May. He said on Twitter: “11 seasons complete – 1 Championship-winning season and 10 in the Premier League.

"An incredible challenge and experiences I’ll never forget. Good luck to everyone at the club. Time for a new challenge!”

Walsh last week left Championship club Huddersfield Town where he had been head of physical performance.
