Newcastle United have recalled Remie Streete from his loan stint at Port Vale.

The South Shields lad had signed only last week until January 4 to extend his stay at the League One club.

The Magpies are concerned about defensive cover after Steven Taylor was injured ahead of the 2-0 win at West Brom.

United fans also watched Fabricio Coloccini come off with a knock at the end of a game in which Paul Dummett played at centre-back due to shortages.

Mike Williamson is fully fit again but United require more cover in the heart of defence meaning Streete’s short stay in the Potteries has come to an end.

The Magpies are looking a centre-backs ahead of the January transfer window.
