In mid-2014, Newberry began training in London, England, where he continued to be coached by his father.[6] In his second JGP season, he placed seventh in Ostrava and sixth in Zagreb. Making his senior international debut, he finished eighth at the Volvo Open Cup, an ISU Challenger Series in November 2014. In February 2015, he won the senior silver medal at the Jégvirág Cup in Hungary. At the 2015 World Junior Championships, he placed 21st overall.
