Chris Wood was signed to a £25m deal by the Tynesiders.
Wood is available to play in Saturday's match against Hornets at St James' Park after signing a two-and-a-half-year deal with the club.
Wood has played at St. James' Park before, so to have the chance to play in front of those incredible supporters is very special.
I can't wait to get onto the pitch and repay the faith they have in me, especially with a vital part of the season ahead of us.
The release clause in the 30-year-old's contract was triggered this week by the news that the top scorer in the Championship, Callum Wilson, will be out for eight weeks with a calf injury.

Eddie Howe praised the club for moving quickly to get Wood, who he says is an important signing for us at a crucial time.
He is a very dangerous attacking threat, has a lot of experience in the premier league, and I really like him. Howe said that he will be a great fit for the company.

Eddie Howe says that the lack of effort cost them in their FA Cup defeat against Cambridge.
He is the second signing this month after Trippier.
Wood started 19 games for the Clarets this season, who are just above the bottom three and sit just above them on goal difference.
The New Zealand international, who has three goals for the Clarets this season, could make his debut for the club on Saturday as they prepare for a crucial home match against the Hornets.

After Wood's release clause was met, it was no longer possible for the Clarets to sell him.
Maxwel Cornet is the top scorer for the team.
Two targets are in mind to replace the strikers, both of whom are based abroad.
Sean Dyche wants to add pace in his attack and is targeting versatile players that can play across the frontline.
The signing of Maxwel Cornet, who has six goals in 13 games since signing from Lyon last summer, is an example of the club moving away from their traditional profile of player towards a more dynamic and flexible attack.
