Krul signed for Newcastle in July, 2005, on a three year deal from ADO Den Haag. He played in the Under-17 European Championship for the Netherlands in Tuscany in May, 2005, and has since become a member of the Dutch under-21 squad. He made his first senior appearance for Newcastle in a pre-season defeat to PSV Eindhoven on July 29, 2006.
Following the injury to Newcastle's first-choice goalkeeper, Shay Given, he was on the bench for a few games while Steve Harper kept goal. Krul made his Newcastle debut in the UEFA Cup game on November 2, away to Palermo. His debut was hailed by critics as he displayed his shot-stopping abilities, saving efforts from Giuseppe Biava and David Di Michele and recording a clean sheet in the process.[1]
He injured himself in the warm up against Palermo, and then aggravated that injury in the warm up before a game against Watford. He required two cartilage operations as a result, keeping him out of action for almost 6 months. He returned to action in April 2007.
On 13 June 2007, he signed a new four year contract with Newcastle.[2] In the same month, he was part of the Dutch Under-21 squad that won the European Championships and also qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
On 3 August 2007, Krul joined Scottish side Falkirk on loan originally until 1 January 2008, though it was later extended until the end of the season after a number of impressive performances.[3] The following day he made his debut for Falkirk and kept a clean sheet as the team won 4–0 against Gretna.[4]
In the two games immediately following his debut, he conceded 4 goals against Celtic and 7 goals against Rangers at Ibrox. Krul was sent off for the first time in his professional career on 2 January 2008, after reacting badly to an opponent's challenge. Shortly afterwards he was injured, suffering a dislocated shoulder during a Scottish Cup defeat against Aberdeen, and resulting in him missing the rest of the season.
On 21 November 2008, Krul joined Carlisle United on a one month loan from Newcastle, to replace Ben Alnwick who had rejoined Tottenham Hotspur.[5] The loan deal was extended for a further month in December with Krul returning to Newcastle in January.
Krul returned to Newcastle as the backup goalkeeper to first choice Steve Harper. He made his senior league debut on 8 August 2009 in the first Football League Championship game of the season away to West Bromwich Albion, coming on as a half time substitute for the injured Harper and making a string of world class saves in a 1-1 draw. Following this match, The Guardian called him "an excellent reserve goalkeeper".[6]. He later played the full Football League Cup match against Huddersfield Town, on 26 August 2009, in which Newcastle won 4-3. Krul also started the 2-0 league cup defeat to Peterborough, where despite being on the losing side he put on an impressive performance. Against Swansea FC on 28 November he again came on to replace the injured Steve Harper at half time.
Krul represented the Netherlands national football team at U17 level at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru. He represented the U21's at the 2008 Toulon Tournament and is a regular in the side for the 2011 European Championship qualifying campaign.
