Joe White: Hartlepool United sign Newcastle United youngster on loan

Hartlepool United have signed Newcastle United youngster Joe White on loan for the rest of the season.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been on the bench for the Premier League side's first team but has yet to make his senior debut, although he has played for the Magpies in the EFL Trophy.

It is the England Under-18 player's first loan spell away from Newcastle.

"He is a highly rated footballer, very creative and forward thinking," Pools boss Graeme Lee told the club website.

With Newcastle out of the FA Cup after their shock loss at home to League One Cambridge United earlier this month, White will be free to play in Hartlepool's fourth round tie at Crystal Palace on 5 February.
