Former Motherwell goalkeeper Mark Gillespie has confirmed that he has signed for Newcastle United on Twitter.
I am proud to have signed for Newcastle United. It’s been some journey from sitting in the Strawberry Corner at St James’ Park with my Dad as a 5 year old. When I got released from the club at 16, I never thought I’d be back one day. What A Feeling. @NUFC #HowayTheLads ud83eudd0d pic.twitter.com/Zb5FWJQwUC

The 28-year-old was released 12 years ago while he was in the Magpies academy, but he has now returned and will join the first-team as a replacement for the departed Rob Elliot.
