Leeds United have reportedly taken former Newcastle United goalkeeper Jak Alnwick on trial.

The 22-year-old is a free agent after leaving the Magpies at the end of last season.

Alnwick made seven appearances for Newcastle last season, making the step up to the first-team after senior goalkeepers Tim Krul and Rob Elliot were sidelined through injury.

Leeds head coach Uwe Rosler is thought to be looking for a new stopper to provide cover for Marco Silvestri.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Alnwick has linked up with the Yorkshire outfit in the hope of securing a permanent deal.

Alnwick was loaned out to Bradford City towards the end of last season.
