Callum "Cal" Roberts (born 14 April 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Newcastle United.
Roberts joined Newcastle United at the age of eight and also played youth football for Whitley Bay Sproggs while attending Churchill Community College in Wallsend.
While still at school during the 2012–13 season, Roberts scored eight goals in nine league appearances for the Newcastle United Under-18s in the 2012–13 Professional U18 Development League.
He officially joined the Newcastle United Academy the following season and made 19 appearances for the Under-18s in the 2013–14 Professional U18 Development League, scoring four goals. He also made two appearances in the FA Youth Cup as Newcastle United reached the Quarter Finals of the competition. He also made the step up to Under-21 level, making ten appearances in the 2013–14 Professional U21 Development League and scoring his first goal at that level in their match against Liverpool at Anfield.
On 3 January 2015, Roberts made his senior debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup match against Leicester City, a match which Leicester City won 1–0. At the end of January 2015, he signed his first professional contract with Newcastle United, committing himself to his hometown club on a long-term deal.
Shortly after making his Newcastle United debut, on 16 January 2015, it was announced that he joined Football Conference side and near-neighbours Gateshead on a month-long loan deal. This deal was later extended to a season-long deal, but he was recalled on 26 February to provide injury cover at Newcastle United, having made three appearances during his spell at Gateshead.
