Chesterfield have signed Newcastle United goalkeeper Max Thompson on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old spent the first half of last season on loan with League One side Northampton and made 20 appearances.

He could make his debut for the Spireites in Saturday's League Two trip to Gillingham.

“I’m quite a proactive goalkeeper. I like to stay high, come off my line and come for crosses. I’d like to think I’ve got a bit of everything," he told the club website.
