Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul is happy with his loan move to Carlisle United.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "I need to get out and play, and Carlisle is a good way to get some first-team games.

"I'm really happy about it. The opportunity has come now, and it will be good to play for a month there.

"It's always good to get experience.

"I need to wait for my moment (at Newcastle), and when the moment comes, I need to be ready for it.

"It's always good to get some practice in like this."
