Newcastle United drew 1-1 with Royal Antwerp in a friendly match in Spain.
Nathan Harker has posted on Twitter after making his non-competitive first-team debut for Newcastle United yesterday.
Harker was taken to Spain with Newcastle, and Rafael Benitez handed him a chance in a friendly match against Royal Antwerp.
The first thing Harker had to do was pick the ball out of the back of the net, but he steadied himself.
The youngster then went about his work with calm assurance, as Newcastle played out a 1-1 draw with their Belgian opponents.
And Harker was pleased to have an opportunity to show Rafael Benitez what he could do.
Harker still faces a big fight to win a place in Newcastle’s goal for their senior side.
The Magpies are well stocked for goalkeepers, with Martin Dubravka, Rob Elliott and Karl Darlow all battling it out for the number one spot.
Harker also is competing against Freddie Woodman at development squad level, with the young stopper also tipped to have a very bright future.
