Crewe Alexandra official release – 20 November 2023:

Lee Bell is hopeful Crewe Alexandra will be able to extend Joe White’s loan from Newcastle United until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old midfielder signed an initial deal that will run to the middle of January, earlier this year.

The talented left-footer has caught the eye with some sparkling displays of late, and has now racked up 15 appearances since September.

Manager Bell said: “Newcastle have been brilliant with us and we have spoken to them and Joe in the last couple of weeks.

“We’ve given them so really positive feedback and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will have some good news.”

White, who has represented England at Under-18 level, was awarded a new three-year deal by Magpies boss Eddie Howe last year.
