Sparky

Newcastle have allowed three players to join National League One side Cornish Pirates on three-month loan deals.
Nigerian-born lock Eni Gesinde, 24, will give the Pirates versatility as he can also play blind-side flanker or number eight.

Open-side flanker Ed Williamson, 23, previously played for Darlington and has represented England Under-21s.

Prop Johnny Williams, 24, is a product of the Falcons' youth ranks and was a first-team squad member last season.
