Ciaran Clark reflects on Sheffield United loan move from Newcastle United

Ciaran Clark secured a season-long loan move from Newcastle United to Sheffield United on Wednesday afternoon.

The 32-year-old was left out of Newcastle’s squad for the second half of the 2021-22 Premier League season and was made to train with the Under-21s side when he returned to pre-season.

The loan to Bramall Lane effectively marks the end of Clark’s six-year stint at Newcastle with his contract at the club due to expire next summer.

Ciaran Clark has reflected on his last six months at Newcastle United after joining Sheffield United on loan.

Reflecting on his move, Clark said: “Just to be involved in and around the first-team squad again will be massive for me.

“I spent six months last season not involved and just training, which isn’t a great feeling to be honest. But this is a new challenge, a fresh start, and one that I’m looking forward to.”
