Newcastle United have signed Matt Targett from Aston Villa for the remainder of the season.

The Englishman found himself relegated to second choice at Villa after the signing of Lucas Digne from Everton.

The 26-year-old left-back is Newcastle's fourth arrival of the January transfer window alongside Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes.

Targett told the club's website: "I'm delighted to be here. I can't wait to get going and meet all the fans and hopefully we can have a successful end to the season.

"My family have friends here and they've always said it's a football-mad city, so to experience it and be part of it - I'm really looking forward to it."
