𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙉𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 🔍 The Geordie who burst onto the Championship scene on Tuesday night, with hopes of helping Wolves bounce back to the Premier League. His idol is, of course, former England and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer. However, it's another former Three Lions striker in Jamie Vardy, who he compares his game to. A direct striker with intelligent movement, who enjoys playing off the shoulder of defenders and possesses a natural goalscorer's instinct. Primarily deployed as a central striker, he is versatile and is comfortable operating out wide or as a No.10. A lightning-quick teenager, standing at 6ft, with an impressive work rate, who presses well from the front and creates opportunities for teammates. Sean joins Peter Beardsley, Alan Shearer, Michael Carrick and Elliot Anderson as players who graduated from the famous Wallsend Boys Club, before joining Newcastle's academy at the age of 13. He was a regular goalscorer throughout Newcastle's youth teams, including scoring 21 goals in 37 games for the U18s and 19 in 36 for the U21s. This led to him being named on the bench for Newcastle's historic League Cup triumph vs Liverpool in 2025. His dreams came true last season when he made his first-team debut in the Champions League, followed by his Premier League debut on the final day of the season. He got his ticket to first-team football by signing for Wolves on Deadline Day, joining their experienced striker group, which includes Raul Jimenez and fellow Geordie and England U21 striker Adam Armstrong. There are more Wolves-Newcastle-England connections where that came from, as John Ruddy and Kieran Trippier have taken the 19-year-old under their wing and have praised his attitude ever since arriving at Molineux. He's had to be patient this season, receiving limited minutes off the bench, but whenever he's played, he's made an impact. In his first start vs Burnley, he provided a crucial assist, while in his 17-minute cameo vs Bristol City on Tuesday, he scored two late goals to win it for Wolves despite trailing until the 82nd minute. Neave has been involved in the England youth setup for the last few years, representing the U17s, U18s and most recently the U19s, where he came on as a substitute on the left wing for a certain Rio Ngumoha. And a great week just got better after being called up to the U20s, where he'll battle it out for a starting spot with Shim Mheuka, Jimmy Jay Morgan, Shea Lacey and Brain Madjo. Never mind the next Harry Kane, could we see the next Alan Shearer break into the England Senior team?
