Newcastle United goalkeeper Aidan Harris has joined Hebburn Town on an initial one-month loan deal.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper has spent this season in and around Matthias Jaissle's first team squad and training exclusively with the first team goalkeeper group, making one solitary appearance for the under-21s side this term as a result.
But he will now go and test himself in the National League North after making a temporary move to the Trustmark Group stadium in what will be his second taste of regular senior football.

Harris spent the first half of last season on loan with last season's Northern Irish Premiership runners-up Coleraine, making 22 appearances for the side before returning to Tyneside for the second half of last term.
He was named on the bench five times in the Champions League last season, travelling with Eddie Howe's squad on their trip to PSG before being involved in the squad for both legs of their knockout ties against Qarabag and Barcelona.

A club statement said: "Newcastle United goalkeeper Aidan Harris has signed for National League North side Hebburn Town on a short-term loan deal.
"Aidan spent the first half of the 2025/26 season on loan with NIFL Premiership side Coleraine FC, where he made 22 appearances and kept eight clean sheets.
"He has progressed through United's Academy since joining in 2017 and made his debut for the Magpies at Under-21 level in an EFL Trophy clash against Wrexham, featuring in front of almost 8,000 fans at the Racecourse Ground.
"The teenage goalkeeper, who won the Wor Jackie Award in 2024, presented to the club's Young Player of the Year, was named on the bench for a senior matchday squad for the first time in Newcastle United's UEFA Champions League Group F opener against AC Milan at the San Siro."
Harris' departure means Newcastle now have three fit senior goalkeepers in the first team squad. Ewen Jaouen is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, leaving Lukas Hornicek, Nick Pope and Mark Gillespie as Jaissle's three goalkeeping options.
Talented teenagers Roman Dowell and George Mair continue to impress at under-21 level, with hopes high for their future on Tyneside.
