Teenage defender Jeff Henderson has joined Gateshead on an initial one-month loan deal.
The 19-year-old trained with the Blue Square Premier outfit for the first time on Thursday morning, and will remain at the International Stadium until at least Monday, 7th November.
Henderson has been a regular for Newcastle's Reserves over the last couple of seasons, captaining the second-string on a number of occasions. In September he was rewarded for some impressive performances with a call-up to the first team squad, and was an unused substitute as United beat Nottingham Forest in the third round of the Carling Cup.
Gateshead currently sit third in the Blue Square Premier, with 27 points from their 14 games, but have recently lost central defenders Ben Clark (hamstring) and James Curtis (head) to injury.
