He scored his second goal for Newcastle on 16 January 2008 when they went through to the FA Cup 4th Round after a 4–1 replay victory over Stoke City.[12] He was ruled out for five weeks on 22 March after suffering a groin injury before the 2–0 win over Fulham.
In the 2008–09 season he was utilised both as a defender and a midfielder due to Newcastle having both a small squad and numerous injuries to players.
