Shane Ferguson

Shane Ferguson is a tricky, quick footed winger who made his breakthrough in 2010 against Accrington Stanley.

After making a good impression, Ferguson signed a five-year contract in 2011,but was never able to cement a place in the first team squad.

The Northern Ireland international only made 23 appearances for the Magpies, and spent his time out on loan at Birmingham City, Rangers and Millwall – for whom he has now signed on a permanent deal.
