Newcastle United goalkeeper Max Thompson has joined Northampton Town on-loan.

Thompson will be with the Cobblers to January.

"Max has a great pedigree and we believe he will fit in to the squad well," said manager Jon Brady.

"He is highly thought of at Newcastle and we are grateful to them for allowing us to borrow Max.

"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."
