Jack Ross has landed a new "important leadership role" at Newcastle after being promoted by the St James' Park club,
The former St Mirren, Sunderland, Hibs and Dundee Utd boss is now the Magpies' head of football strategy, having initially joined the club as academy head of coach development in 2023 after being sacked from the top job at Tannadice.

Ross will continue to oversee Newcastle's player loan strategy, but will forge relationships with other clubs in the UK and overseas in what the club says will support the "development of Newcastle United's global brand and IP."
