Newcastle teenagers Alex Gilliead and Macaulay Gillesphey have joined Carlisle on loan.

Winger Gilliead and defender Gillesphey, both 19, have signed 28-day youth loan deals - they will stay at Brunton Park until October 11 - and could make their Carlisle debuts at York on Saturday.

Gilliead, yet to make a first-team appearance at Newcastle but an unused substitute at Leicester in the FA Cup last season, was included in the England Under-20s squad for the two games against Czech Republic earlier this month.
