Stoke City man to remain with the Alex until the end of the season

Crewe Alexandra have moved to sign Stoke City middle-man Jamie Ness on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old enjoyed the first half of 2014/15 with the Alex after joining in August, and manager Steve Davis has moved to secure Ness for the remainder of the campaign after an impressive period.

The Scot scored his first Crewe goal with a sensational strike in the shock 1-0 victory over table-toppers Bristol City in December and will now be available for Saturday’s meeting with Gillingham at the Alexandra Stadium.
