Crewe Alexandra have brought in striker Charlie McNeill on a season-long loan from Sheffield Wednesday, bringing their number of summer signings to four.

The former Manchester United forward, 22, has been with the Owls for the past two seasons, scoring six goals in 48 appearances.

After starting in Manchester City's youth system and then spending two years in United's academy, McNeill made his first-team debut in a Europa League game in September 2022 against Real Sociedad.

He joins striker Jordan Gibson, centre-back Luke Offord and midfielder Joe White at the Mornflake Stadium for the start of the new League Two season, which begins on Saturday, at Crawley Town [15:00 BST].
