Jeff Hendrick has revealed that it is unlikely he will play for Newcastle again with a summer departure on the cards. He spent the second half of the season on loan at QPR after he was deemed surplus to requirements at St James’ Park by Eddie Howe in January.
Jeff Hendricks said: “I don’t know if it will be a fresh start. Newcastle have done really well and brought some good players in and I can admit their midfield is very strong with the additions in January. I’m not the club, I’m not doing the buying or whatever, but I’d imagine they will strengthen the whole squad again in the summer. For me it’s about being realistic and being prepared that I might need to go somewhere else for games. I have two years left at Newcastle. For me, I’m ready to go back on July 1 and start training and if I need to go and get games, I will do that. It’s something I want to do, I always want to play games and I’ll wait and see.”
