White, who recently returned to the club following a loan spell with Leyton Orient, joined United’s Academy in 2016 and progressed through the ranks via loan spells with Orient, Hartlepool United, Exeter City, Crewe Alexandra and MK Dons. He made his first-team debut for the Magpies in a 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth in February 2024.

Ashby, meanwhile, joined the club in January 2023 from West Ham United and made 31 appearances in all competitions last season while on loan with Queens Park Rangers.

The pair will join Graham Alexander’s side who currently sit third in League One.

Everybody at Newcastle United wishes Joe and Harrison well during their time at Valley Parade.
