Promising Cumbrian teenager Joe White was named in the Newcastle United squad for their Premier League clash with Manchester City today.

The Carlisle midfielder, 19, was included among the Magpies' substitutes for the top-flight game at St James' Park.

It was the second time this season that White has been named in the matchday squad for a first-team game.

And it was his first involvement in the senior squad under new Toon boss Eddie Howe.

White was an unused sub as Premier League champions City eased to a 4-0 victory against the division's second-bottom side thanks to goals from Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling.

The young Cumbrian's promotion to the bench further underlines his potential at St James' Park.

He had previously been named on the bench for Newcastle's trip to Manchester United earlier in the campaign.

The teenager has pushed his way into the first-team picture this season, having made his first senior outings in pre-season.

England Under-18 international White has impressed for Newcaste's Under-23s, and has featured for their Under-21s in the Papa John's Trophy.

White has been monitored by other clubs with reports earlier this season linking Celtic, Rangers and Chelsea with interest in the teenager.

He is the son of Jamie and Fiona and the grandson of the late former Workington Reds manager and Carlisle United player, coach and physio Peter Hampton.

White, previously on Carlisle's books from the age of seven to 13, has been with Newcastle since 2016 and signed his first professional deal in November 2019.

His inclusion in the squad today continues a recent spell of Cumbrian involvement in the Premier League.

Ex-Carlisle United prospect Liam McCarron, from Appleby, made his top-flight debut for Leeds against Arsenal on Saturday.

And former Blues defender Jarrad Branthwaite, from Wigton, scored the equaliser for Everton at Chelsea on Thursday night.
