Joe White: Exeter City boss excited by 'star quality' of Newcastle United loanee

New loan signing Joe White will bring "star quality" to the Exeter City side, says manager Gary Caldwell.

The 20-year-old midfielder has agreed a loan move from Premier League side Newcastle United until the end of the season and could make his debut against Forest Green in League One on Saturday.

Caldwell worked with White when he had a spell at the Magpies' academy.

"He brings real star quality in the way he carries the ball, he's a fantastic dribbler," Caldwell told BBC Sport.

"He comes in and brings the team a real quality that I think could unlock defences and that could provide assists and goals in the final third.
