Crewe Alexandra defender Lewis Billington has signed a new three-year contract with the League Two club.

Billington, 22, has been with the Railwaymen since he was six years old and has made more than 100 appearances for the first team.

He had been considering the club's offer of a new deal since the end of last season but will now stay on at the Mornflake Stadium into a sixth senior season.

Moore was part of the youth set-up at Birmingham City before joining The Railwaymen where he has made 11 first-team appearances.

Crewe Alexandra have signed midfielder Joe White from Premier League Newcastle United on a two-year contract.

The 23-year-old had a previous loan spell with the Alex in the first half of the 2023-24 season, when he scored three goals in 25 games.

Since then, White has had further temporary stints in the English Football League with MK Dons, Leyton Orient and Bradford City.

He has been with the Magpies his whole career and made four Premier League appearances as a substitute in April 2024, having come through through the club's Under-21 side.

White is the third new player to join boss Lee Bell's squad for the new season after returning captain Luke Offord and striker Jordan Gibson.
