Curtis Good prepares for Newcastle United medical

Australian defender Curtis Good has arrived on Tyneside to undergo a medical with Newcastle United.

The 19-year-old, who currently plies his trade with Melbourne Heart, has reportedly been scouted by the Magpies for the past few weeks.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for Curtis," Heart manager John Aloisi told Football Australia.

"Newcastle United is one of the biggest clubs in the United Kingdom, and we are absolutely delighted he has the opportunity to test his wares on such a stage."

Good is expected to go straight into the club's academy.
