Newcastle United goalkeeper Nathan Harker has joined Lee Clark's Blyth Spartans on loan until January 2020.

The 20-year-old shot-stopper will link up with the National League North outfit, who face Gloucester City in their opening league game of the 2019/20 season on Saturday afternoon.

Harker, who has established himself as United's number one at under-23 level, made his senior debut for Newcastle during a 1-1 friendly draw against Royal Antwerp in 2018.

The Northampton-born goalkeeper made 27 appearances for Newcastle's under-23 side last season, keeping eight clean sheets as the youngsters reached the Premier League Cup final and Premier League 2 division two play-off final.
