🚨 BREAKING ‘Delighted’ – Exciting Newcastle United talent confirms major contract news

Newcastle United Hand Professional Deal to Rising Star Matheos Ferreira After Standout Debut Season

 

Newcastle United have officially awarded a first professional contract to talented young winger Matheos Ferreira, following a highly promising debut season within the club’s academy structure. The youngster, who only joined the Magpies’ youth ranks recently, has made a rapid impression with his performances and development.

 

Ferreira made his breakthrough earlier this year when he featured for Newcastle United’s Under-21 side for the first time in January. At just 16 years of age, he stepped up to the U21 level during a Premier League 2 clash against Everton that ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite his age, the exciting winger quickly adapted to the intensity and demands of senior academy football, and soon established himself as a regular within the squad.

 

Over the remainder of the campaign, Ferreira made six appearances in Premier League 2, contributing one goal and one assist — statistics that reflect his growing confidence and ability in advanced areas of the pitch. His dynamic wing play and maturity beyond his years caught the attention of coaches and fans alike, solidifying his place as one of the most exciting prospects in the Magpies’ academy.

 

Before joining Newcastle, Ferreira spent his formative years playing for local grassroots clubs including Berwick Juniors and Cramlington Juniors, where his raw talent and work ethic laid the foundation for his rise through the football ranks.

 

Now aged 17, Ferreira has taken the next step in his career after putting pen to paper on his first professional contract with Newcastle United. The deal was offered to him shortly after his birthday and marks a significant milestone in what is expected to be a bright future.

 

Sharing the news on his personal Instagram account, Ferreira posted photos of himself signing the contract at Newcastle United’s training ground. Alongside the images, he wrote:

 

> “I’m delighted to sign my first professional contract with @nufc. Grateful to everyone who has been part of my journey so far — my family, friends, coaches, teammates and all those who believed. The work continues!”

 

 

 

The announcement has been met with warm congratulations from fans and fellow players, with many praising the club’s continued focus on nurturing homegrown talent. Newcastle’s academy, which has been gaining increasing recognition for developing promising players, will now look to help Ferreira take the next steps in his development as he transitions toward potential first-team opportunities in the coming seasons.

 

As the Magpies continue to strengthen both their senior squad and youth development pipeline, Ferreira’s progress will be one to watch closely — a young star with plenty of potential and the drive to make his mark on Tyneside.
