Dwight Gayle has penned a heart-warming farewell to the Newcastle United supporters after his six-year stint with the club came to an end with his move to Stoke City confirmed.
The 32-year-old made 122 appearances for the Magpies, scoring 34 times, and his efforts in that promotion season have him in good estimation with the Newcastle faithful despite playing a bit-part role for the club in recent seasons.
Gayle joins the Potters in the Championship on a two-year deal, managed by former Newcastle player Michael O’Neill in search of more regular first-team football, having barely featured for the Magpies last season.
The forward took to Instagram to write some closing thoughts on his time on Tyneside, thanking the club and supporters for making him and his family feel at home straight away in Newcastle.
