Newcastle confirm retained list with £15million signing released and two former England stars locked in contract talks
NEWCASTLE have confirmed that Jamal Lewis has been released.
The left-back was a £15million signing from Norwich just five years ago.
Lewis, 27, made just 36 appearances for Newcastle over three season at the club.
He has spent the last two campaigns on loan at Watford and Brazilian side Sao Paulo.
Meanwhile, Newcastle also announced that Lloyd Kelly's move to Juventus has been made permanent.
The versatile defender made the move to Turin in January on loan with an obligation to buy for £20m.
Additionally, former England duo John Ruddy and Callum Wilson are both in talks over contract extensions.
Both see their deals expire at the end of this month.
The club have also triggered an extension option in goalkeeper Mark Gillespie's contract.
It comes after Fabian Schar, Emil Krafth and Dan Burn all put pen to paper on new deals.
