Done deals: Newcastle United confirm arrivals of Kyle Scott and Jake Turner

Newcastle United have added midfielder Kyle Scott and goalkeeper Jake Turner to their ranks as Steve Bruce continues to rebuild his squad at St James' Park.

Scott arrives on a free transfer after being released by Chelsea, while Turner is also an out of contract signing after leaving Bolton Wanderers.

After the deals were confirmed Turner said: "It’s excellent for me, and I can’t wait to get started.

"Stepping up to a Premier League club is massive.

"We’ll see where I progress – playing in the Premier League is a dream – so we’ll see what happens.

"It’s a massive club, and I can’t wait to get going here."

And Scott also reflected on the move, he said: "I’m really excited.

"Newcastle is a massive club with massive history, but for young kids there is an opportunity – you see that with (Sean) Longstaff and what he did last year, and it’s a good opportunity for me.

"Newcastle are in the Premier League, and a massive club.

"You look at the kind of players that have come through here and how much opportunity they have got, and I feel like at this place they do give it as long as you’re working hard and playing well."

Both players have been named in the squad for Newcastle's second string clash at Rotherham today.
