Loris Karius’ extended contract, Martin Dubravka’s return and Nick Pope’s exceptional displays this season demoted Darlow to fourth-choice shot-stopper on Tyneside. A loan move appeared to promise regular first-team football but the 32-year-old has a fight on his hands.

Ingram has battled another on-loan keeper, Nathan Baxter, for the gloves in 2022-23. Rosenior kept faith in the former despite signing Darlow on transfer deadline day.
