Newcastle United Official Callum Wilson announcement – July 7, 2025:
‘To all your magpies …
It is time to say goodbye after an incredible few years in the tone.
Thank you for everything. We were strong together because of the highlights and a few lows to help the club experience new heights.
I am so proud that I have worn the iconic number 9 shirt and added some more history. Scoring at the Gallowgate end is really as special as they say.
All good things come to an end, but there is no doubt that Newcastle United will always have a place in mine and my hearts.
Thank you for the memories.
