Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has insisted that goalkeeper Freddie Woodman is 'happy' at the club following his recent stint as the side's back-up to Martin Dubravka.
The 21-year-old has made just one senior appearance for the Magpies, which came in an FA Cup third round tie against Luton Town in January 2018, resulting in the keeper leaving St. James' Park in recent seasons in search of minutes with loan spells at the likes of Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.
Woodman, however, has been on the bench for each of Newcastle's last seven games in the Premier League thanks to an injury to Karl Darlow, with Benitez claiming the Under-20 World Cup winner is providing good competition for the goalkeeping position in training.
