'It would be an unreal moment for my family' - Miley's Newcastle goal

[Getty Images] "Hopefully I can follow in his footsteps in the future," said Mason Miley - the brother of Newcastle United midfielder Lewis Miley - after signing his first professional contract with the club. The 17-year-old, who can play in central midfield or at full-back, joined the club's academy at under-nine level before progressing through the youth ranks. "I was delighted to get it signed a bit earlier after a good season," Miley told the club's official website after putting pen to paper. "It is a proud moment after being at the club from such a young age. "It is my boyhood club and I like the way the club is going forward. We are wanting to compete in the biggest competitions, like the Champions League, so I really wanted to be here." After making his under-21s debut in December 2025, Miley went on to register 11 Premier League 2 appearances last season - and he hopes to follow in his brother's footsteps soon. "Lewis is in Newcastle's first team so hopefully I can follow in his footsteps in the future. To play with Lewis, in a Newcastle United shirt, for the first team is one of my ultimate goals. It would be an unreal moment for my family. "We have been training together during the summer. He has helped me to maintain strong fitness levels and standards, which will help me when I return for pre-season. "I'll be aiming to have another good season with the under-21s and trying to train with the first team as much as possible, impressing the staff and hopefully making an appearance in the matchday squad."
