Newcastle midfielder White joins Orient on loan

Joe White made 35 appearances while on loan at MK Dons last season

Leyton Orient have made Newcastle midfielder Joe White their 10th summer signing.

The 22 year-old has moved on a season-long loan from the Magpies.

White told Orient's website: "Once Newcastle told me that I'd be allowed to go out on loan, Leyton Orient was my first choice.

"I saw a lot of the team towards the end of last season, and it was a really exciting one to watch.

"I've got better with every loan spell I've had and I believe that my skills can really contribute to us having an entertaining team again this season."

The move to Orient is White's fifth loan spell of his career.

He has previously had temporary stints at Hartlepool United, Exeter City, Crewe Alexandra and MK Dons.

White played 35 times for MK Dons last season, scoring six goals and setting up two more.

Orient missed out on promotion last season after losing the League One play-off final against Charlton at Wembley.

They have responded by making a string of additions, with White joining Killian Cahill, Demetri Mitchell, Michael Craig, Idris El Mizouni, Aaron Connolly, Tyreeq Bakinson, Josh Koroma, Tommy Simkin and Tayo Adaramola in moving to Brisbane Road this summer.

Orient head coach Richie Wellens said: "We know we had to make a lot of signings this window due to our departures, and Joe was someone we identified early on as being someone we wanted to bring in."

Orient will begin their 2025/26 campaign at Huddersfield Town on Saturday, 2 August.
