My understanding is you would(May have) already have spent one year of eligibility as a Non U.S. University Transfer regardless of participation.
Also, you really need to find out how much of your core curriculum through HS and now Newcastle would transfer.
My understanding is that if Stuart doesn't compete for Newcastle U. then he hasn't used up any NCAA eligibility.
My recommendation is that Stuart completes his degree at Newcastle (only competing in UK club athletics), then starting his 5 year clock at a US university. He would have earned two degrees and graduate/complete eligibility at age 26.
That's how the boys at New Mexico do it.
