Lee Bowyer, who passed his medical earlier in the week, is understood to have been given the number 29 shirt by Newcastle.

Midfielder Bowyer was wearing the 29 shirt, during a pre-season training session on Thursday.

Most of the Newcastle squad were training at Darsley Park, apart from those such as Shay Given, who have recently served international duty.
