Newcastle United defender Liam Gibson has joined League Two side Grimsby Town on loan until January.

The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Accrington Stanley, making five appearances.

He has yet to play for Newcastle's first team, but he has represented their under-21 side five times in the Checkatrade Trophy.

"I would describe myself as a powerful, athletic full-back that likes to get forward," said Gibson.
