Newcastle United have officially completed the signing of Rangers talent Alfie Hutchinson.
Hutchison, who can play as a striker or on the wing, only joined Rangers from Hearts in 2024 but quickly caught the eye of Newcastle and other top-flight clubs.
Alfie Hutchinson’s move to Newcastle United made official
It wasn’t clear when Hutchinson would officially join Newcastle. But as per Sky Sports News reporter Anthony Joseph, the teenager’s move was made official last Monday (July 1).
“Newcastle United have agreed a deal to sign Rangers forward Alfie Hutchison,” Joseph said. “It’s understood the 16-year-old has completed a medical with #NUFC and agreed terms on a long-term contract. The Scotland youth international will officially join the club on July 1.”
Hutchinson played for the Gers’ under-19s team last season, scoring twice on his Glasgow Cup debut against Queen Park’s.
Speaking after the game, Hutchinson said: “It’s a really good [feeling]. It was my debut in the tournament, so it was really good to start off with two goals.
“The first one has just fell to me inside the six-yard box and it was about just my touch, turn and finishing on target. I can play both through the middle and off the sides, both as well as each other.”
