Newcastle fullback Yedlin: Championship title win ‘feels like yesterday’

Newcastle United defender DeAndre Yedlin says the Magpies Championship title win is stuck in his head - and it will be forever.

Rafa Benitez's side claimed the honour on the last day of the season, pipping Brighton by a single point.

"It feels like yesterday, honestly," the former Tottenham man told the clubs website.

"The vacation has gone pretty fast. It [winning the Championship title] is definitely still in my head – it was a great moment, and I'm sure it always will be.

"I'm sure there'll be a lot of running this week, but you've got to do it. When the football kicks back in, though, it'll definitely be very enjoyable.

After failing to get an opportunity at Spurs, Yedlin excelled in his first season with the Magpies, making 27 league appearances last season.
