Young Newcastle United goalkeeper, Dan Langley, has revealed the reasons why he has chosen to move on loan to neighbours Gateshead for the upcoming season. The 21-year-old has joined a growing list of Newcastle youth players who have crossed the Tyne at some point during their career.
In an interview on Gateshead's official YouTube channel, Langley stated that: "It started probably last year. It's always been in the offing - really happy to get it done this summer."
Langley added that he had spoken to Gateshead boss and ex-Magpie, Mike Williamson: "I spoke to the gaffer a few weeks ago and he said I've watched you play, and your attributes really suit the way we play. Coming in [I'll be] trying to build into the way they play, and help them progress.
