Newcastle defender Steven Taylor could be leaving Newcastle as early as January, according to his official representative.
The 27-year-old missed around two months of action with a hamstring strain, but has recently recovered from injury.
Nevertheless, he has been unable to break into the starting line-up and his agent has moved to suggest that his client may be leaving on loan in January.
“Steven is now fully fit, but he is frustrated not to be playing as that is what he loves doing,” agent Willie McKay told Sky Sports. “He has not been involved for the last six games and of course it is frustrating.
“Steven fully understands that the team have been on a good winning run and the manager does not want to change a winning team.
“Joe Kinnear has promised Steven a new deal in January and he could be made available for loan if he is not going to be playing for Newcastle.”
Steven Taylor has spent his entire career at St James’ Park, bar a short loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers.
He has made a total of 186 league appearances for the Magpies, scoring 11 goals in the process, but numerous injury problems prevented him from becoming a full England international.
When he is fully fit, Taylor is regarded one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and no doubts there will be quite a few clubs willing to offer him an escape route from St James’ Park unless his situation changes.
