Crewe Alexandra have completed the signing of midfielder Joe White following his departure from Newcastle United, according to BBC News. The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Gresty Road, becoming the League Two side's third addition of the summer transfer window.
White leaves Newcastle after progressing through the club's youth ranks, though the report does not detail how much first-team involvement he had at St James' Park. His move to Crewe represents a fresh start at a lower level, where he'll be expected to add experience and quality to Lee Bell's squad as they prepare for another League Two campaign.
Further details on the length of his previous Newcastle contract or any loan spells he may have had elsewhere were not specified in the report. Crewe fans will hope White can hit the ground running and establish himself as a regular in midfield following his switch from Tyneside to Cheshire this summer.
