DANNY ROSE joked he should sack his agent after spotting the chance to join Newcastle.
The former Tottenham left-back saw Jetro Willems pick up an unfortunate season-ending injury when Toon faced Chelsea.
Jetro Willems’ injury paved the way for Danny Rose to join Newcastle
And he revealed that he was straight on the phone to his agent as he searches for regular starts.
Rose, 29, told Sky Sports: “I was watching Newcaslte play Chelsea and I saw the injury that Jetro had and I got on the phone to my agent and said ‘I wan’t to go there’.
“It probably took a week to ten days to get there but now I’m here. I think I need to sack him don’t I?
“It was just by coincidence and obviously it’s unfortunate that somebody’s had to get injured but I’m grateful that I’m here and looking forward to playing games now.”
Rose has been missing the north while living in London and controversially claims he could only find one decent chippy in the capital.
He added: “The best chippy is in Doncaster where I’m from – I was in London for 13 years and I think I found one good chip shop.
“I’m going to make the most of it now I’m back up north and I’m looking forward to enjoying life here.”
Rose is in Newcastle’s squad for the clash against Norwich tomorrow and is raring to go.
He beamed: “I’m over the moon, looking forward to being involved and feeling part of a squad again.
“Making my debut in front of 50,000 fans it will be very special and something I’m looking forward to.”
