Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is delighted with the form of Lewis Hall.

The former Chelsea wing-back has signed permanently for the Magpies this month.

Howe said today: "I think for any player when you come to a new club, it's natural there's going to be a settling in period.

"He's done really well to commit and continue to commit and have consistency in his work, even when no doubt he was frustrated that things weren't happening quicker than he'd wanted. He did really well at Old Trafford and showed a lot of maturity.

"I'm delighted with where his game is at."
