MUST READ: Australia decision made to look foolish after Newcastle United release 13 key players
Newcastle United have parted ways with 13 promising young talents from their academy system following the 2023-24 season, with Amadou Diallo, Michael Ndiweni, and Matt Bondswell being the most notable names among the released players.
While often an unseen aspect of the sport, the harsh reality is that many young footballers have their aspirations dashed when clubs make difficult decisions regarding their futures. Releasing players from youth academies can have a profound impact on their lives, both personally and professionally, as they navigate the challenges of finding a new path in the competitive world of football.
The list of released players from Newcastle United’s academy includes three under-21 players who recently participated in the 8-0 loss to the A-League All Stars: Amadou Diallo, Michael Ndiweni, and Lucas De Bolle.
