Newcastle boss Howe happy naming Aidan Harris (16) on AC Milan bench

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe didn't think twice naming Aidan Harris on the bench for last week's draw at Champions League opponents AC Milan.

The 16 year-old goalkeeper was called up to sit on the bench after Martin Dubravka pulled out due to a bug in the morning.

Harris was with Newcastle in Milan for their UEFA Youth League tie, but instead made the senior step up for the 0-0 draw at San Siro stadium.

The teen has come through the youth system at Newcastle and featured in the EFL Trophy so far this season.
