He then spent the first-half of last season on loan at Crewe Alexandra which proved to be his most successful period to date, scoring three times and registering the same number of assists in 25 appearances.

Crewe were keen to keep White for the season, while a number of other clubs also showed an interest, but Eddie Howe decided to include him in his first-team plans for the second-half of the campaign amid an injury crisis.

White made his Premier League debut against AFC Bournemouth before making further substitute appearances versus Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
