Crewe Alexandra Football Club have completed the signing of midfielder Dan Barlaser from Newcastle United on loan until the end of the 2017/18 season.

The 21-year-old central midfielder, who can also play out wide, is available for Wycombe this weekend after staff worked hard to push the deal through ahead of the 12 midday deadline.

A former England U18 international, Barlaser has played four times for the Magpies so far this season, appearing in the EFL Cup & three times in the Checkatrade Trophy, including 90 minutes in Newcastle's victory over Crewe at Gresty Road in August.

Having graduated through the academy ranks at St James Park, the highly-rated prospect also played twice for the Club last season, both in the FA Cup against Birmingham & Oxford.

This move represents Barlaser's first loan away from Newcastle & everyone at Crewe Alex would like to welcome him to the Club.
