Northampton Town have signed Newcastle United goalkeeper Max Thompson on loan until the January transfer window.
Thompson joined the Newcastle United Academy at the age of 11, before signing his first professional contract with the club in December 2021 and has represented England at under-18 level, making his debut in a 3-0 win over Russia in October 2021.
He was under consideration for the Magpies squad for the 2023 Carabao Cup final, and his move to Sixfields is likely to allow young goalkeeper James Dadge to go out on loan.
"We are pleased to welcome Max to the club," said manager Jon Brady.
"He will join our first team squad and we are really pleased to welcome such a highly rated young goalkeeper to the club.
"We believe the best course of action for James Dadge is to head out on loan to aid his development by playing week in, week out, and Max's arrival allows that to happen.
"Max has a great pedigree and we believe he will fit in to the squad well. He is highly thought of at Newcastle and we are grateful to them for allowing us to borrow Max."
