[edit] Career

A striker, known for his lightning pace, he began his career with Liverpool, and was involved in their FA Youth Cup win of 1996. He made 4 appearances for Liverpool, and was loaned out to Carlisle United (December 1999), Crewe Alexandra (March 2000), Sheffield United (August 2000), and Bury (February 2001). This final loan move was made permanent, with Bury getting him on a free transfer on March 20th, 2001. In summer 2003 he moved on to Huddersfield, but the move was not a success, and following a loan spell at York City, he returned to Bury a year later. He had a loan spell with Kidderminster Harriers during the 2005/06 season, but has since returned to Gigg Lane. "Newbs" as he is affectionately known by the Gigg Lane fans was released in May 2006 after failing to break his way back into the first team. He subsequently joined Wrexham for a short spell before leaving the club in December 2006. He joined Southport the following month[1] but was released in May after the club were relegated from the Conference National. Newby signed for Morecambe after a trial period in August 2007.

His First Professional Hat-Trick came against Rotherham United on 29 March 2008, scoring all three goals in the first half and helped Morecambe to a 5-1 Victory in a surprising good season for the club. After a great season at Morecambe where he finished joint top scorer he was released by manager Sammy Mclroy to the fans dismay.
