The 20-year-old has been recently let go by the Toon Army, but there is also the chance of a move to Major League Soccer with LA Galaxy.

The Californian club have invited him for a trial and should he prove successful he could be lining up alongside English football icon David Beckham for them next season.

However, closer to home, the Newcastle Chronicle reports the Iron and Darlington are both interested in snapping up the young prospect - who impressed in a recent trial at Glanford Park.

"I'm at the stage of my career when I am ready for first-team football after playing for the reserves at Newcastle," he told the newspaper.
