Callum Roberts (born 14 April 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Newcastle United.[3]

Early career

Roberts joined Newcastle United at the age of eight and also played youth football for Whitley Bay Sproggs while attending Churchill Community College in Wallsend.[3]

While still at school during the 2012–13 season, Roberts scored eight goals in nine league appearances for the Newcastle United Under-18s in the 2012–13 Professional U18 Development League.[4]

He officially joined the Newcastle United Academy the following season and made 19 appearances for the Under-18s in the 2013–14 Professional U18 Development League, scoring four goals.[5] He also made two appearances in the FA Youth Cup as Newcastle United reached the Quarter Finals of the competition.[6] He also made the step up to Under-21 level, making ten appearances in the 2013–14 Professional U21 Development League and scoring his first goal at that level in their match against Liverpool at Anfield.[7]

Club career

Newcastle United

On 3 January 2015, Roberts made his senior debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup match against Leicester City, a match which Leicester City won 1–0.[8] At the end of January 2015, he signed his first professional contract with Newcastle United, committing himself to his hometown club on a long-term deal.[9]

Gateshead (loan)

Shortly after making his Newcastle United debut, on 16 January 2015, it was announced that he joined Football Conference side and near-neighbours Gateshead on a month-long loan deal.[10] This deal was later extended to a season-long deal,[11] but he was recalled on 26 February to provide injury cover at Newcastle United,[12] having made three appearances during his spell at Gateshead.
