The Passport column shows each player's Roster Assist status. None of these players holds a record — this is a compiled example, not a claimed club.

No players in this position.

Per-game averages across all 34 games played (32 league and 2 playoff), from a third-party statistics provider; not independently verified by Roster Assist. Games started is not shown — no available source publishes it, so the column is absent rather than filled with zeroes. 2PT% and EFF are derived from the published shooting and box-score lines. Sixteen players appeared during the season; the eleven who recorded qualifying averages are shown. Also on the roster: Marco Anthony (G); Brett Reed (F); Malcolm Smith (F); Caleb Huffman (F); Sam Mamuini (G).

Ray'Sean Taylor's 51 points against Surrey on 20 Feb 2026 is the individual high of the season — the game is in the reel below.

Scores are shown from the Eagles' perspective. Home fixtures are listed at the Vertu Motors Arena, Scotswood Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE4 7AF; the statistics provider still records most of them at Sport Central, the club's home until 2019, which is stale data rather than an alternative name. The last two rows are the playoff quarter-final and are excluded from the 32-game league record above.

Newcastle finished 8th of 9 on 24 points, -2.0 per game on differential. The club's own row is marked.

This table counts the 32 Championship games only: 12–20. A widely-used statistics provider reports 12–22 for the same season because it includes both playoff legs. Neither is wrong; they count different games, and the player averages above use the 34-game basis.

Publicly listed Newcastle Eagles coaching staff

Name	Role	Since
Marc Steutel	Head Coach	—
Roberto Fois	Assistant Coach	—
Gary Stronach	Assistant Coach	—
Adam Hall	Assistant Coach	—

Compiled from the club's own listing and a third-party staff record, which disagree: the club lists Roberto Fois as assistant coach, the statistics provider lists Gary Stronach and Adam Hall. Both are shown rather than one being chosen. Tenure dates are not published, so the Since column is empty rather than estimated. No name links to a Coach Passport — none of these coaches holds a record.

Newcastle and Gateshead sit either side of the Tyne, joined by seven bridges. It is a compact city — most of it walkable, the coast half an hour away on the Metro and the Northumberland countryside not much further. It is known for being friendly and for a night out, and it is among the more affordable cities in England to live in.

Worth knowing

Culture

BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, the Great North Museum, Newcastle Castle, and the Angel of the North just south of the river

Sport

St James' Park sits in the middle of the city; the Great North Run starts here

Eating

A restaurant scene that has grown a national reputation, and a lot of independent breweries

Getting out

Northumberland's beaches and Hadrian's Wall are both inside an hour

This is the club's description of its own city, not an independent assessment — every club will describe where it is based favourably, and this section is provided by the club. The figures above are the checkable part: population and travel times are public record; rents are typical advertised asking prices for 2025-26 and will vary by area and by month. Compiled with reference to NewcastleGateshead, the official destination site.

Season by season

Season-by-season records run from 2011-12 — as far back as a single consistent source covers. The honours list above extends to 1990-91; earlier seasons are not tabulated here rather than being assembled from sources that were never reconciled. Records include all competitions and so differ from the 32-game league table above.

Announced signings and retentions only — the squad is incomplete and the season has not begun. No opportunity is published and no application can be made through this page.
