DONE DEAL: Newcastle goalkeeper Thompson thrilled with move to Chesterfield

Thompson, at the age of 20, may have the opportunity to make his debut in League Two when facing Gillingham.

He told Chesterfield's website: "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.”
