JAMES Tavernier’s set for another loan away from Newcastle United – this time in the Championship.
The defender returned to Tyneside last week after a successful spell at League One club Sheffield Wednesday.
Gary Megson wanted to keep Tavernier at the club, but Newcastle refused to extend his loan because he had been playing on the wing, and not at right back.
However, Tavernier – who also spent three months on loan at Carlisle United earlier in the season – is likely to be farmed out again by manager Alan Pardew, who saw the benefits of his time at Hillsborough first-hand last week when he rejoined his United team-mates in training.
Brighton and Hove Albion are understood to be among the second-tier clubs considering a move for the 20-year-old, who impressed across the Tyne at non-league Gateshead last season.
“He’s been brilliant, absolutely brilliant,” Pardew told the Gazette.
“That loan period has done him the world of good. He’s come back, and the highest compliment I can make is that he’s looked like Danny Simpson in training.
“He’s come back at that level, so fair play to him.
“With Santon, Ryan, Danny and Fergie, we’re blessed with full-backs. We’ve now got Tav, so I’ll consider sending him out again.
“I think he’ll go to the Championship this time, and do well.”
Not heard of him to be honest
