NEWCASTLE UNITED goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has moved to Hartlepool United on loan.

The 17-year-old, son of the Magpies' goalkeeping coach Andy Woodman, has represented England at Under 16, 17 and 18 level. 

He will be back up to Pools' No 1 Scott Flinders, after the departure of Andy Rafferty. 

Pools had Sunderland's Joel Dixon on loan, and youth team goalkeeper Jonathan Barnet on the bench last Saturday.

Woodman will be on the substitutes' bench at Northampton this evening.
