Newell was born in Formby and has been with Bolton Wanderers since the summer of 2015 after completing a two-year scholarship with Everton.[3]
Newell initially joined Bolton Wanderers U21 team and made his first team debut on 30 April 2016, coming on as a substitute for Emile Heskey in the home game against Hull City in the Football League Championship.[4] The EFL retained and released list published on 13 June 2017 confirmed that Newell had left the club.[5]
On 24 July 2017, Newell signed a one-year contract with Scottish Premiership side Motherwell.[6] He was released in July 2019.[7]

In February 2021, after a horrific double compound leg fracture, Southport set up a GoFundMe to help fund his medical bills.[11] He joined Marine on loan again in December 2021 [12] and the loan was extended in January 2022.[13] He was recalled to Southport in February.[14]
Newell is the son of former Blackburn Rovers and Everton forward Mike Newell.[16]
