Newcastle goalkeeper Adam Collin (18) is ready to sign for Athletic. Collin is 6 ft. 3 ins. tall and is involved with the England under-20 international team. As Collin has not signed a professional contract with Bobby Robson’s team he can play for Athletic under a ‘work experience’ programme. This allows Iain Dowie to explore more loan signings as the number is limited. Collin will be on the bench acting as cover for Les Pogliacomi in the Brighton season opener.Newcastle keeper signed as cover

Antoine-Curier scored the Athletic goal against Bolton in the behind closed doors game. Dowie said, “Mickael did well and I would definitely like to have another look when he’s ready to play again. He’s a big lad who gets behind defences and he is something different to what we have at the moment.”
