Newcastle United have offered pro terms to Dylan Stephenson.

The 18-year-old found himself in the headlines over the weekend after blasting in a first half hat-trick against Leeds United in the FA Youth Cup.

Stephenson's performance came in front of watching first-team boss Steve Bruce who was in the stands against the Yorkshire side.

The 4-1 win set up a home tie with Watford in round five with the last 16 clash potentially taking place at St James' Park later this month.

Stephenson is set to sign a new professional contract in the summer after impressing with both the Under-18s and Under-23s this season, reports the Evening Chronicle.

The winger, who also demonstrated he can play as a striker against Leeds, has been with the club since the age of 14 after playing for Newcastle City Juniors.
