Newcastle keeper Elliot admits loan exit plans

Newcastle United goalkeeper Rob Elliot admits he could be on the move during the loan transfer window.

The 28-year-old, who arrived in the North-East from Charlton Athletic, has made just 12 first-team appearances since joining the club back in 2011.

The Republic of Ireland international told Sky Sports: "It's been really tough and I've been a bit frustrated.

"I don't want to just get the tag of being a No.2 keeper. You get times when you think 'I need to play'.

"I love it at Newcastle but I want to play football. I hope it is at Newcastle but if it's not, it's not."
