Lewis Hall speaking to official club media after having been ruled out for the rest of the season – 6 March 2025:

“It is gutting, especially with the games coming up.

“There’s so much to play for until the end of the season and I was looking forward to them so much, so it’s devastating, not just for me but being able to help the team.

“I feel like my season’s gone well and it’s come at probably the worst time.

“I would want to continue playing but we had to look at my career and agree on what was best.

“If I was to play through the pain, things could have got worse, which would have a negative impact on my career long-term.

“Honestly, I would play through anything if I could.

“Obviously the cup final is a massive game; I’d played in all the games leading up to it and I’d like to think I’ve played a big part in us getting to this stage.

“And with the internationals coming up as well, it’s disappointing that I’m not available to be selected for that – and that I can’t play in the end of season games which ultimately will determine the competitions we play in (next season), whether we get in the Champions League.

“It’s quite hard to accept at the minute but I’m still young and there’s many opportunities ahead, I’m very confident in that.

“I haven’t had it before in my career but watching us train every day and watching the team play is something that I’m really not looking forward to, but I’ve got so much faith in the boys to get us over the line and do what we need to do.”

“Getting a load of messages shows how much the fans care about you.

“A lot of messages that I’ve seen this year have helped me to achieve what I’ve achieved.

“To know that they appreciate my efforts and the way that I play is a nice thing to hear at a difficult time.

“I’m a firm believer that I’ve got so much more that I want to achieve now. I’ve had a really good start to my Newcastle career; I’ve come a long way in this team and I feel like there’s so much more that we can achieve together.
