Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has welcomed the input of Nick Hammond.
With Hammond, the former Celtic transfer chief, now on board at St James' Park, Howe was asked his views on the temporary role.
Howe said: "I think we have several people working behind the scenes in terms of identifying players and speaking to players and representatives to see what is available in the market.
"I think Nick adds valuable experience to that process.
"I have known him over the years, not worked with him, but know of his work and he's a really good guy.
"He's keen to help and add his process to the football club."
