Playing career

Newton played for Romiley St. Chad's, Park Albion, Marple Amateurs, Newton Heath, and Hyde United.[1] He played two league games for Manchester City in 1919. He guested for Burnley and then Port Vale in April 1919, before joining the latter club permanently.[1] In October 1919, Port Vale were re-elected from the Central League to the Football League.[1] Newton and Tom Holford battled for the position on the left of midfield, but by February 1920, Holford had established himself as the club's preferred left-half.[1] Newton featured in 14 Second Division games in 1919–20.[1] He later played for Southend United, Accrington Stanley, Hurst, Ashton National, Romiley, Marple, and Congleton Town.

gollark: Ah yes, I can totally use my laptop on-the-go and hold it in one hand easily.
gollark: I basically just want a portable web browsing thing with good battery life which can also work as an okay camera/MP3 player/whatever else and have a terminal for occasional fiddling.
gollark: No, adding a 3rd would be better, more usable space.
gollark: I disagree. They're useful, but also becoming less useful at least for me.
