Newcastle has bolstered its midfield by signing Stephen Ireland on loan from Premier League rival Aston Villa until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old Irishman has failed to establish himself in Villa's first team this season after joining from Manchester City last year.
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says ''I think Stephen feels he can deliver more than he's shown at Villa so far.''
The northeast club has moved to strengthen its attacking options with top scorer Andy Carroll on the verge of joining Liverpool for a reported fee of about 35 million pounds ($56 million).
