As we exclusively revealed on NUFC Blog early yesterday morning, the player had already signed a 3.5 year contract. However, procedural hold ups regarding the player’s sell on clause at Watford meant that the official announcement had to be delayed until now.
The player will also be eligible for this evening’s clash with cash strapped Crystal Palace, and Mike will go staright into the squad, providing much needed cover for the wounded Magpie backline, with injuries to Danny Simpson and Steven Taylor, and also the suspension of Ryan Taylor for a straight red from radgie ref, James Linnington, in the West Brom game.
Williamson will take the number six squad number.
Great news, eventually. Will he play tonight?

“The timing just astonishes me. There’s a week to go in the transfer window and we are about to sell Victor Moses for millions,”
So he’s not been bought by us then.
