Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Guthrie was delighted to complete his move to Newcastle United yesterday.
The 21-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Bolton, agreed to a four-year contract at St James' Park.
"I'm happy to be joining Newcastle - I cannot wait to meet the boys and get started," he told the club website.
Manager Kevin Keegan added: "I'm delighted we got Danny. He proved himself in the Premier League last season so he can play at this level."
The former Manchester United trainee becomes Keegan's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of winger Jonas Gutierrez from Real Mallorca.
