Headline: Crewe Alexandra Secures Loan of Left-Back Josh Stephenson from Brentford
Crewe Alexandra has completed the signing of left-back Josh Stephenson on loan from Premier League club Brentford, with the arrangement set to last until January 2027.
The 20-year-old, a product of the Millwall academy, ascended to Brentford’s first-team squad this summer after being offered a new contract that extends until 2028. He will now aim to gain valuable senior experience at the Mornflake Stadium.
Stephenson, who is also capable of playing as a centre-back, earned the title of ‘Player of the Year’ in Brentford’s under-21 team last season, which advanced to the final of the Premier League Cup. Although he was included in three Premier League matchday squads and two FA Cup rosters for Brentford’s first team last term, he has not yet made his competitive debut.
