Nick Pope, born 19 April 1992, is a seasoned goalkeeper currently employed by Newcastle United. Born and raised in England, Pope stands at an imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighs in at 11st 13lb (76kg). Donning the revered number 22 jersey, Pope also takes pride in his service to the England national side.
Carving a niche in the football echelons, Pope has earned a reputable market value of approximately €8m, which translates roughly to £6.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career trajectory started in May 2011 at Bury Town, before moving on to Charlton Athletic, where he made modest appearances across a handful of seasons. This was a period punctuated by loan deals to other clubs including Cambridge United, Aldershot Town, and York City. He later added Bury to this list in a January 2015 loan spell.
Pope’s career took a significant upward turn in July 2016, when he transferred to Burnley in the Premier League for approximately £1.1m, a move that saw him making sizeable numbers of first-team appearances during his time there. More recently, in July 2022, Pope made the move to championship level with Newcastle United for a substantial fee of about £11m. His tenure at Newcastle thus far has afforded him plentiful first-team playtime.
Pope has also been involved in the illustrious Champions League and FA Cup competitions during his time at Newcastle, adding further credibility to an already robust career.
