Newcastle have completed the signing of Leeds defender Jonathan Woodgate.

Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd told the club’s official website, www.nufc.co.uk: “He’s a great young player and another player we have signed for the future – so we are delighted.”

The Middlesbrough-born player was hoping to make his debut in the north east derby at The Riverside tomorrow.

But the postponement of the match means his first game in a black and white shirt is expected to be next Sunday’s home match with champions Arsenal.
