Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul on a season-long loan.
The 29-year-old has been with Newcastle since 2005, making 160 league appearances for the Magpies.
The eight-time Netherlands international spent time on loan at Ajax and AZ last season after falling out of favour under Rafael Benitez, however, and the stopper has now left Newcastle on another short-term deal.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton told the club's official website: "I know Tim from my time at Newcastle and he is an excellent professional that has a vast amount of experience at both club and international level.
"He's played an extensive amount of games in the Premier League, as well as playing in the Europa League and his experience will also help benefit the other keepers in the squad."
Krul made 16 appearances for Dutch side AZ in the second half of last season.
