Nathan Carlyon admits he draws inspiration from Newcastle United's Longstaff brothers.
Carlyon penned pro terms with Newcastle this week.
He told the club's website: "I'm delighted to be offered my first professional contract with the club I have been at for over ten years. I've always been confident that if I work hard and continue to develop that I would become a professional one day.
"Sean and Matty have done everything that I set out to do. From young lads in the academy all the way through to taking their chance in the first-team.
"I always want every Newcastle player to do well but even more so the players who come through the academy. Both brothers are idols and hopefully one day I can be in the same squad/team as them."
