Newcastle United striker Xisco is delighted with his second chance at the club this season.

Toon boss Alan Pardew has told Xisco not to give up on his career at St James' Park.

Xisco told the Evening Chronicle: "This season we have a young squad and some young players in the first team.

"It is very different to the first year when I came here.

"You get a good feeling training with these lads every day.

"It makes me feel good that I made my decision to stay here and work with them."
