“With what’s gone on in the last few weeks (with Covid-19), we’ve been a bit short. That’s when it was brought to prominence. A fresh voice, a fresh idea, is never a bad thing.

"We’ve been talking about it for a while. We’ve brought Ben Dawson up from the Academy, who’ll stay with us until the end of the season. There’s nothing quite like a new face. He (Jones) is a Newcastle fan, and I think that’s what tipped him our way. He wants to come and work at his hometown club.”
