Rob Elliot eager to take opportunity to impress for Newcastle United

Rob Elliot is targeting an extended run in the Newcastle United side as he prepares to make his first Premier League appearance of the season.

Rob Elliot has admitted that he is desperate to take the opportunity to produce his best form during a rare spell in the Newcastle United team.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper is set to make his first appearance in the Premier League season against Southampton on Saturday as a replacement for Tim Krul, who could be on the sidelines for up to three weeks with a knee injury.

"I'm gutted for him but I have to take my opportunity now," Elliot told the club's official website. "Hopefully I can get as many games as possible and try to do well for the team. I'm looking forward to it.

"I've had to be more patient this year but I feel like I've improved a lot as a goalkeeper, even though I haven't been playing.

"It's nice to know I will get a few games at least, so I can build on my performances and hopefully improve week on week."

Elliot joined Newcastle from Charlton Athletic in 2011.
