The 16-year-old caught the eye at Newcastle’s academy in 2022 as he received a first-team call-up for the trip to Saudi Arabia and friendly matches against Al Hilal and Rayo Vallecano last month. Miley has also trained with the first-team on several occasions so far this season.

The youngster has already earned six caps for England’s Under-17s side since making his debut back in August, scoring once in a 2-1 win over Finland.
