Mehdi Abeid is hoping for a first team chance at Newcastle United this season.
The 19-year-old midfielder managed only two first-team appearances for the Magpies last season, in the FA Cup and League Cup.
He told the club's official website: "I have progressed a lot over the last year.
"I have worked with good people and played with good players and that has been very important for me as a young player.
"I hope to progress every day and continue to progress. I want to do more.
"I would like to keep up what happened last season. I need to keep up the same work, keep the same frame of mind, and hopefully will get to play more games."
