Accrington Stanley have signed midfielder Tom Allan on a season-long loan from Premier League side Newcastle United.

The 20-year-old scored 17 goals for the Magpies' under-23 side last season and made his senior debut against Rochdale in the FA Cup in January.

"Now is the time to make the step up and get some games under my belt in league football," Allan said.

"I scored quite a few goals last year and hopefully I can do that this year and add to the team."
