"Since my first meeting with Becky [Langley, head coach], I have been made to feel at home and I'm really excited to kick on and help the team get promoted.

"I aim to be able to bring my experience from the FA Championship to help get Newcastle to where they belong."

Pizzarello added: "I'm extremely grateful to be a part of Newcastle United. To get the opportunity to fight alongside the team in reaching the top of the table at the end of the season is amazing. I can't wait to get started."

Both signings are subject to confirmation from the Football Association. Following Newcastle United’s takeover in October 2021, the women’s side has received plenty of attention after officially merging with the club and hosting two matches at St James’s Park.

The Lady Magpies currently sit second in the FA Women’s National League Division One North, the fourth tier of women’s football in England.
