Former Brighton & Hove Albion academy manager John Morling says Ben White serves as a prime example of how well the loan system can be utilised.
Brighton pounced once White was released by Southampton at the age of 16 to beat Bristol City and Leicester City to his signature in 2014. White penned his first professional contract in 2016 and climbed the footballing ladder with loan spells at Newport County in League One, and then Peterborough United in 2019.
After impressing with his performances in the lower divisions, White joined Marcelo Bielsa's squad at Leeds ahead of the 2019-20 season. He played every single game for the Whites as they ended their 16-year absence from the Premier League by lifting the Championship title.
