Rafa Benitez put his Newcastle players through their paces in front thousands of fans as the club staged an open day at St James' Park.

Around 5,000 supporters attended the event under bright sunshine on Thursday and got a first look at new signing Joselu.

The 27-year-old striker, who completed his £5million move from Stoke on Wednesday, trained with his team-mates, as did Jonjo Shelvey, who will not play again until September 10 because of suspension after being sent off in Sunday's 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham.
