Following the recent departure of Academy Head Coaches Peter Beardsley and Kenny Wharton, Newcastle United have appointed Brain Eastick as Head Coach of the Youth Academy.

Eastick was originally the Youth Academy Director at Birmingham City, but he has agreed to move to Newcastle, with Birmingham looking to change things in that department anyway.

He will assist Newcastle's Director of football, Gordon Milne.
