Gateshead loan Scunthorpe United defender Callum Howe

Callum Howe has been on loan to Bradford Park Avenue, Frickley Athletic and Gainsborough Trinity.

Gateshead have signed Scunthorpe United defender Callum Howe on a one-month loan, and he is available for Saturday's trip to Forest Green Rovers.

Howe, 20, signed a one-year deal at Glanford Park in May, but has yet to make his first-team bow for the club.

However, he has played for Bradford Park Avenue, Frickley and Gainsborough in previous loan spells.

Gateshead boss Gary Mills is currently without first-choice centre-back James Curtis because of a hamstring injury.
