All 21 Geordies Who Have Played For Newcastle In The Premier League

16. Jak Alnwick

Born: Hexham Newcastle United: 2011-15 Position: Goalkeeper Premier League Appearances: 6 Premier League Clean Sheets: 0 A player many Newcastle fans probably wished never donned the Magpies jersey in the Premier League, but Hexham-born Alnwick was certainly proud to represent NUFC. He may have come up through the academy at Sunderland alongside his brother, Ben, before switching to Newcastle but Alnwick failed to make a single first-team appearance between 2011 and December 2014. However, an injury crisis forced Alan Pardew to turn to Alnwick and, despite an encouraging 45-minute performance against Chelsea, the goalkeeper struggled in the first team. He was released at the end of the 2014-15 campaign having made six Premier League appearances for Newcastle.
