Jack Newman, born on 12 February 2002 in Scotland, is a 22-year-old goalkeeper who currently plays for Dundee United, while donning the number 13 jersey. Standing tall at 6ft 3in (1.92m) and weighing 12st 8lb (80kg), Newman, a Scottish native, has navigated his professional journey in football fields beyond his homeland.
According to Transfermarkt, Newman currently holds a market value of around £128k. His contract with Dundee United is set to draw to a close on 31 May 2025 with a residual run time of five months from today's date.
In July 2017, Newman veered south of the border to join Sunderland as a trainee in England's Championship. After a few years honing his skills and building up fortitude, he moved back to Scotland, transferring to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership in July 2020.
During the 2022-2023 season with Dundee United, Newman made four appearances in the first team during league matches. However, his presence on the field has been limited in the current season (2024-2025) with no appearances to his name so far.
In a turn of events in February 2022, Newman was loaned out to The Spartans in Scotland's League Two. After a short stint, he returned to Dundee United in June of that same year. A subsequent loan move in July 2022 saw him join Peterhead, also a team in Scotland's League two, where he made five first-team appearances in the 2022-2023 season. Yet again, his stay was short-lived and in August 2022, he returned to his home club, Dundee United.
In what has become a pattern in his career, Newman found himself on the move again in July 2024. This time, he was loaned to Inverness CT, a team in Scotland's League One. However, the absence of records for first team appearances suggest that his presence on the field in league matches for the year 2024-2025 season has been minimal.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for this promising young Scottish player, with months of his contract dwindling, eyes are on whether he will stay put with Dundee United or make his move across the Scottish football landscape.
