The teenager could make his EFL debut next Saturday at Montgomery Waters Meadow against Fleetwood Town.

Bondswell is the second loan departure for Newcastle on deadline day, following on from Freddie Woodman who sealed a temporary switch to Championship side AFC Bournemouth on Monday afternoon.

Further loan departures are still expected at Newcastle before the 11pm deadline. Left-back Jamal Lewis is reportedly attracting interest from Championship outfit Birmingham City while Jeff Hendrick and Ciaran Clark have been linked with moves to Middlesbrough.

But the clock is ticking for those deals to come to fruition.
