Newcastle United have re-signed defender Stefan O’Connor for free, just a few months after initially releasing him, as reported on the Chronicle.
The former Arsenal centre-back was let go by the Magpies during the summer transfer window, but he failed to sign for a new club due to suffering an ACL injury.

O’Connor has returned to the Magpies on a short-term deal and will look to fight his way back into the Under-23s side.
The 22-year-old will also be hoping to impress first-team manager Steve Bruce and could push for a spot in the squad.
A good signing?

O’Connor offers the Magpies another defensive option and his versatility is also a positive.
He can operate in midfield and certainly strengthens the U23 squad. It is slightly strange that just a few months after releasing him they’ve re-signed him.
He’s always been highly-rated by the club and O’Connor will feel like this is the chance that he deserves, he needs to make full use of this opportunity given to him.
