Keeper arrives from Premier League club

The signing of keeper Max Thompson on a season-long loan from Newcastle United has been confirmed.

After checking in at the SMH Group Stadium, Thompson said: “It’s a good opportunity for me to try and get some games under my belt – hopefully prove what I can do.

“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.”

The 20-year-old kept five clean sheets in 15 appearances while on loan at Northampton Town last season.
