ANTHONY Stewart's future has finally been resolved after his protracted move to Crewe Alexandra was completed.

The 22-year-old defender has joined the Railwaymen on loan until January 5 after the League One side agreed the deal with Wanderers.

Despite not technically being a Wanderers player the club retains his registration due to him being under the age of 24, which allows the loan deal to go ahead.

Blues have retained the right to compensation should Stewart later sign a permanent deal with Crewe, or any other club.
