| Born and bred in Newcastle, Wheelhouse has been with the Club since 2003.
The midfielder stood tall when a horror injury crisis hit the Club towards the back end of last season. No stranger himself to a disappointing share of major injuries, the 26-year old has benefited more than most from a thorough pre-season this year.
Always praised for his courage, commitment, versatility and team first approach, Wheelhouse’s qualities as a footballer are sometimes overlooked. Not however amongst his teammates, who appreciate his football nous, his awareness and ability to support.
Simply a good footballer. |
