The 20-year-old defender has joined National League North side Darlington in a bid to help strengthen their promotion charge. Brookwell has been a regular in Newcastle’s under-21s side since joining from Liverpool’s academy in 2020.
The versatile youngster has regularly captained United’s second string side and is capable of playing in midfield. He joins a Darlington side currently sitting third in the sixth tier table and looking to end their seven year stint in the division by earning promotion.
Brookwell could make his debut in Tuesday night’s match against Southport at Blackwell Meadows.
