Owen Bailey Signs For Gateshead
Gateshead FC has welcomed to their squad the newest arrival to the Gateshead International Stadium Owen Bailey. The former Newcastle youngster signs for the National League North side on a one-year deal after spending time on trial.
The 22-year-old has previously captained the Magpies’ Under-23 side to the 2019 Premier League 2 Division Two play-off final and the Premier League Cup final. Bailey played his final few minutes for the Magpies in the 1-0 defeat against Swansea City on September 30th 2019 before he was sidelined for 538 days due to a serious knee injury.
Bailey returned to action in the 86th minute of Newcastle United’s clash against Norwich City in March 2021 where he scored a dramatic last-minute goal that secured the win for his team. Despite his efforts, this was not enough to secure Bailey’s place in the Magpies’ squad.
