newcastleunited.com rounds up Monday's action involving Magpies players currently out on loan...

Alex Murphy

The young Irishman, who made his Premier League debut during the Magpies' 4-1 win against Chelsea at St. James' Park last season, was on target in Bolton Wanderers' 4-2 defeat away at Lincoln City in League One.

The Trotters were 2-0 down inside the opening 18 minutes at the LNER Stadium before finding themselves on level terms before half-time, with Jay Matete halving the deficit before Murphy equalised with a deflected header.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international played the full 90 minutes but Bolton's League One play-off hopes were heavily dented after conceding two second-half goals, with Steven Schumacher's side situated in eighth place, six points adrift of the top six spots.

Joe White

The Cumbrian midfielder, who made his Premier League bow during Newcastle's 2-2 home draw against AFC Bournemouth last season, played the final 29 minutes of Milton Keynes Dons' 1-0 away win against Crewe Alexandra.

White, who spent the first half of the 2023/24 season on loan at Crewe, was introduced from the bench shortly after the hour mark as Paul Warne's men ensured League Two safety with a narrow victory at the Mornflake Stadium.

Harrison Ashby

The versatile full-back played the opening 53 minutes of Queens Park Rangers' 2-1 home defeat against Swansea City in the Championship.

Ashby, who spent the duration of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at the Swans, featured as a left-back against his former side, collecting a yellow card before half-time.

Isaac Hayden

Hayden played the full game of Portsmouth's 1-0 win against Watford on Monday afternoon, with Colby Bishop's first-half strike proving the difference at Fratton Park, ensuring Pompey's status in the Championship with two games to spare.

Charlie McArthur

The Kilmarnock-born defender, who made his Scotland Under-21s debut last month, was an unused substitute during Carlisle United's 1-1 draw away at Accrington Stanley in League Two.

Mark Hughes' side, situated in the relegation zone of the English fourth tier with two games remaining, must avoid defeat away at Cheltenham Town on Saturday to keep their survival hopes alive heading into the final day of the season.

Max Thompson

Chesterfield were held to a 3-3 draw against Bradford City on Monday, with Thompson an unused substitute during the Spireites' six-goal thriller at the SMH Group Stadium.

Paul Cook's side currently lie in tenth spot of League Two, three points shy of the play-off places.
