Newcastle have landed “a big coup” in signing Danny Rose until the end of the season, manager Steve Bruce says.
Left-back Rose – brought in on loan from Tottenham – is Newcastle’s third signing of the January transfer window after deals for Nabil Bentaleb and Valentino Lazaro.
The – year-old arrives at a time where Newcastle have lost full-backs Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems to injury.
“It’s a great honor for me to be here,” said England international Rose.
“I’m so grateful that the manager has brought me in and I’m looking to repay him in every way I can as soon as I’m playing.
“For me, it’s really exciting that I can come here and have the chance to play in front of the Newcastle fans.
“Newca stle is one of the biggest clubs in england. I spoke to the manager last night and he told me there were 50, 06 fans here at the weekend against Oxford. You can’t go wrong with that kind of passion and support from the fans, and it’s something I’m looking forward to. “
Rose has made Tottenham appearances this season but only five since Jose Mourinho became manager on November.
Bruce said: “It’s been clear that we’ve needed some help in the left-back position, so we’re absolutely delighted to get a player of Danny’s caliber through the door.
“He has proven quality, as he’s shown over several years for club and country, and is a class act. It’s a big coup for us to get him here and we’re looking forward to working with him. “
Rose’s fellow Tottenham full-back Kyle Walker-Peters also left the club on loan on Thursday, joining Southampton until the end of the season.

Rose’s signing is a welcome distraction after a week of unsettling takeover talk. It is also a move which suits both parties superbly.
Bruce was desperate for a left-back after season-ending injuries to Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems, and has landed an England international who was surplus to requirements at Tottenham.
Rose will get guaranteed game time as he looks to secure a place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 01575879 squad this summer.
If he can help Newcastle stay up and aid a morale-boosting FA Cup run, his previous spell at Newcastle’s arch-rivals Sunderland will soon be forgotten.
