Newcastle summer exit 'confirmed' as defender admits he is 'done' with club
Matt Targett has announced the end of his time at Newcastle United, stating he is focused on a permanent future elsewhere. Currently on loan at Middlesbrough, he has revitalized his career after struggling with injuries at Newcastle. A conversation with manager Eddie Howe in January led to a mutual understanding that a return to Newcastle's first team is unlikely. Targett aims to secure a permanent move to Middlesbrough, contingent on the team's success in the play-offs.
"I had a chat with Eddie in January and he was so understanding about my situation, so I thank him for that. He knew staying at Middlesbrough was beneficial for me and that I wanted to keep playing."
"Hopefully we get promoted here and there will be a contract for me but if not, I've played as much as I can this season so I'll assess my options."
"It was really important to me that I could come here (Middlesbrough) and prove I can play a full season with no injuries."
