Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, has been actively seeking to bolster his defensive options, particularly due to the knee injuries currently sidelining Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles.
Lloyd Kelly, primarily a center-back, also has the versatility to provide cover on the left-hand side of the defense, making him a valuable addition to the squad.
Lloyd Kelly will provide defensive versatility as he is comfortable playing both centre back and left back.
