360 Official: Newcastle sign Shelvey

The 23-year-old midfielder has signed a five-and-a-half year
deal at St James's Park and is the Magpies's second signing of
the month following the capture of Henri Saivet.

"I'm very excited to be here," Shelvey told Newcastle's official
website. "I'm so glad that it's finally done.

"I drove up through the night to be here so it's been a manic 24
hours but it's all been worth it to come here and play for this
great club."

Shelvey joined Swansea in 2013 after a three-year spell at
Liverpool, who he had joined as a teenager from Charlton
Athletic.

The England international established himself as a key part of
the Swans's midfield under Garry Monk but has fallen out of
favour following his sacking in early December.

"I'm delighted to welcome Jonjo to Newcastle United," head
coach Steve McClaren said.

"He has great experience for a young English central midfielder
and he is a current England international so I'm certain he will
be a great addition to the squad.

"He is a player we have admired for some time and we're very
pleased that we've now been able to bring him here."
