Exeter City have signed Newcastle United midfielder Joe White on loan for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old is reunited with Exeter boss Gary Caldwell, who coached White when he worked with the Magpies' under-23s side in 2021.

He has yet to play a first-team game for Newcastle but did play 16 times for Hartlepool United during a loan spell in the second half of last season.

However, White did play in a friendly against Saudi side Al Hilal last month.

"Joe is someone I got to know when I was at Newcastle United U23s for a short period of time," Caldwell told the Exeter City website.

"Straight away I noticed he was a player of real quality, he stood out and he has wonderful dribbling skills and a wonderful left foot.

"Since then he has been on loan at Hartlepool United and has gained important first-team experience. He's now at an age and time in his career where he is really ready to impact a first team and he will be great competition for the midfield and attacking midfielders in the squad."
