Kilmarnock have signed three youngsters from Newcastle United on short-term loan deals.

Winger Cal Roberts, goalkeeper Freddie Woodman and attacking midfielder Sean Longstaff have moved to Rugby Park until the end of the season.

Roberts made his senior debut for Newcastle in January 2015 in the FA Cup against Leicester City while Woodman has represented England up to U19 level but has yet to feature for the United first team. 

Like Woodman, Longstaff's senior experience has been restricted to the Newcastle U23 side.
