Port Vale have signed former Newcastle goalkeeper Jak Alnwick on a short-term deal.
The 22-year-old made six Barclays Premier League appearances for the Magpies last season but was released at the end of the campaign.
Alnwick, an ex-England youth international, has also spent time on loan at Gateshead and Bradford.
Vale boss Rob Page told the club's official website: "In the absence of Chris Neal through injury we felt it was important to bolster our goalkeeping ranks.
"Jak is a very talented player who has experience at the highest level with Newcastle United and he's also had a taste of League 1 with Bradford.
"We're very pleased to have him on board and the players and coaches are all looking forward to working with him."
Alnwick could make his debut in this weekend's Sky Bet League 1 opener against Crewe at Gresty Road.
