Meet the Newcastle youngster with Lewis Miley example to follow who made his debut in the Mestalla

Newcastle United prospect Henry Johnson is emerging as a promising talent after making his senior debut during a pre-season friendly against Valencia at the Mestalla. The 18-year-old signed his first professional contract earlier in the summer and captained the club's under-18 team last season. Johnson has since become a regular in Robbie Stockdale's under-21 side and continues to train consistently with Newcastle's first-team squad.

Stockdale praised Johnson's physical and technical abilities, noting that his positional versatility mirrors Lewis Miley's breakthrough into the senior squad. A natural center-back, Johnson has frequently played at right-back this season, recently contributing a goal and an assist in a 4-1 Premier League Cup win over Luton Town. Johnson aims to earn competitive appearances in the Premier League or domestic cup competitions.
