Newcastle United may not be close to signing first-team additions at St James' Park but the Magpies are wasting no time securing loan deals for their own under-21 talent this month. Newcastle have confirmed three temporary exits in the space of 24 hours as Dan Ashworth and Shola Ameobi find suitable locations for the club's up and coming talent.
Young prospect Joe White has joined League One side Exeter City until the end of the season after impressing for the club's reserves in recent months. The move sees the highly-rated midfielder link up with former St James' Park defender Gary Caldwell who manages the third tier outfit.
Kell Watts, who spent the first-half of the season on loan at Peterborough, will continue his stay in League One after extending his deal with The Posh until the end of the season. Watts' start to the campaign was hampered by injury but new Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson admits he is pleased to see the young centre-back stay with the club.
