Newcastle United have reportedly agreed to let defender Harrison Ashby leave on loan.

The Magpies are keen for the 22-year-old full-back to spend another season out on loan following his recent stint with Swansea.

Set to return to the Championship, Ashby, according to Football Insider, will join QPR for the 2024-25 campaign.

Expected to feature heavily for QPR, Ashby’s improved playing time could see him return to St. James’ Park better placed to rival the likes of Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento for a place in Eddie Howe’s starting 11.

Although Ashby has yet to feature for the Magpies’ first team, he has played for their under-21s where he has made a great impression, scoring one goal and registering one assist in just two appearances.
