Cup '˜keeper will not be Premier League veteran
Urwin is on-loan at Victory Park from Fleetwood and like Nick Haughton is unable to feature for the Magpies against his parent club in the televised first round meeting.

He has however bolstered his midfield with the addition of ex-Scotland and Blackpool midfielder Ian Black on a non-contract deal until the end of the season.
Though he says he is not a replacement for fourth-qualifying round hat-trick hero Haughton who fired Chorley to this stage for the first time in 27 years.
Jansen said: “We are close to securing a keeper for the Fleetwood game.

“He featured off the bench in our 1-0 defeat at Spennymoor and he needs to get his match fitness up. He’s a good signing but priority now is getting a ‘keeper.”
Before that cup clash Jansen’s side host Tamworth tonight at Victory Park and the Chorley boss wants a good result to give them a platform for Monday.
He said: “We lost at Spennymoor but we are still full of confidence because we deserved more from that game.
“We have only lost twice in 14 games and we want to bounce back and keep that form up and keep going.”
