Former Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has vowed to continue supporting a local food bank.

The French attacker has signed for Al-Ahli in a big money deal to help the Magpies ease Financial Fair Play concerns.

While Saint-Maximin will no longer be in Tyneside, he is still loyal to charities in the region.

"A special player & special person. Allan Saint-Maximin will be missed at @NUFC on & off the pitch," NUFC Fans Food Bank tweeted.

"He messaged to help two days after signing for Newcastle visited @NCLFoodBank soon after & made everyone's day, raised awareness & donated money. Thanks and good luck for the future Allan."

"That's the least I could do, it's nothing compared to what you guys are accomplishing," replied Saint-Maximin.

"Know that I will still be there for you even though I'm not in Newcastle anymore."
