Button motors in to Crewe

Button: Crewe switch

Crewe Alexandra have bolstered their goalkeeping options for the first half of the season with the addition of David Button.

"There are two good goalkeepers already here at the club but it remains my aim to get into the team and to play as many games as I can."
Button on Crewe Quotes of the week

The Tottenham shot-stopper has joined the League Two outfit on a six-month loan that keeps him at the club until 3rd January.

The 20-year-old is yet to feature for Spurs' first team, but he has garnered experience on loan with the likes of Grays, Rochdale, Bournemouth, Luton and Dagenham & Redbridge.

Although Crewe have the likes of Adam Legzdins and Steve Collis vying for Gudjon Thordarson's No.1 jersey, Button has not joined to warm the bench.

Opportunity

"This is a massive opportunity for me and I have come here for the experience and to improve," he told the club's official website.

"There is nothing better for a young goalkeeper than to go out and play competitive matches. You learn a great deal when there are three points on the line.

"The deal has been in the pipeline for a while but Spurs wanted me to remain with them for the beginning of pre-season. I recently travelled with the Spurs first team and played 45 minutes so that was a great experience.

"Once I came back from that things got rolling at Crewe and I was delighted to come up and sign.

"Hopefully, I can settle down quickly and show everyone what I can do. There are two good goalkeepers already here at the club but it remains my aim to get into the team and to play as many games as I can."
