Magpies complete Best deal
01 Feb 2010 - 14:49:35
Republic of Ireland striker Leon Best has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.
Best has signed a three-and-a-half year contract at St James' Park after the Magpies agreed a fee for his services with Championship rivals Coventry City.
The 23-year-old striker had registered on the Championship leaders' radar after scoring 10 goals in 29 appearances for the Sky Blues this season.
Best, who has been capped four times by the Republic, started his career at Southampton and was loaned out to four different clubs before joining Coventry in 2007.
Former Southampton team-mates Fitz Hall and Mike Williamson have both joined the north-east club this month.
