Magpies swoop for Routledge

26 January 2010 16:02
Newcastle have completed the signing of Wayne Routledge on a three-and-a-half deal from Coca-Cola Championship rivals QPR. The 25-year-old winger joins Chris Hughton's side for an undisclosed fee from the Loftus Road club. Routledge, who has scored seven times in 49 appearances for the Londoners before his move to the north-east, was part of the Hoops side which drew 1-1 at St James' Park earlier this season.
