NullReference - Object Instantiated but still null

Hello and I am trying to load a character into a game scene by instanciating a new player. But when I try to load him, I get a null reference exception. Here is my MasterClient.cs, which has the error at line 88 or

 newPlayer.GetComponent<Player>().Load (PlayerLoadUpdateName, PlayerLoadUpdateInfo, PlayerLoadUpdatePosition);

(just separating the code here)

 using UnityEngine;
 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.IO;
 using System.Net;
 using System.Net.Sockets;
 using System.Threading;

 public class MasterClient : MonoBehaviour
 {

 public static MasterClient Singleton;

 public GameObject PlayerObj;

     if (Singleton == null)
     {
         Singleton = this;
         DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
     }
     else
     {
         Destroy(gameObject);
     }
 }

 void Start()

     if (Client == null)
     {
         Connect();
     }
 }

 void Update()

 private bool SceneUpdateRequired = false;

 public void ChangeScene(int sceneID)

     SceneUpdateRequired = true;
 }

 private void UpdateScene()
 {
     Application.LoadLevel (SceneUpdateID);
     SceneUpdateRequired = false;
 }
 
 }

and my Player.cs class that has the .Load() method:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

 public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

 public static Player instance;

 private string PlayerName;
 private int PlayerLevel;
 private int CurrentHealth, MaximumHealth;
 private int CurrentExperience, MaximumExperience;
 private int Strength, Agility, Intellect, Constitution;

 private Vector3 CurrentPosition;

 void Start()
 {
     instance = this;
 }

 void Update()
 {
     
 }

 public void Load(string PlayerLoadUpdateName, int[] PlayerLoadUpdateInfo, Vector3 PlayerLoadUpdatePosition)
 {
     PlayerName = PlayerLoadUpdateName;
     PlayerLevel = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [0];
     CurrentHealth = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [1];
     MaximumHealth = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [2];
     CurrentExperience = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [3];
     MaximumExperience = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [4];
     Strength = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [5];
     Agility = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [6];
     Intellect = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [7];
     Constitution = PlayerLoadUpdateInfo [8];
     
     CurrentPosition = PlayerLoadUpdatePosition;
 }
 }

I tried to debug the newPlayer object but it says it is an object and doesn't return null. But then it tries to load him and it is null.
