Quick Facts
Biography
Remie Streete (born 2 November 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for League One club Port Vale. He is the son of Floyd Streete. He has previously played for Newcastle United and has also spent time on loan at Rangers.
Club career
Newcastle United
Born in Aylesbury, England, Streete grew up in South Shields and played for Boldon Colts from the age of five to 13, before rejecting interest from Sunderland to join the Newcastle United academy in 2008. He made his debut for the under-18s against Crewe Alexandra on 20 March 2010. He was given the inaugural Jack Hixon Award in 2010. He signed professional terms with the club in June 2011, with the three-and-a-half-year contract starting on his 17th birthday.
In 2012, Streete won the Wor Jackie Award honouring the club's young player of the year. He ruptured his ankle ligaments in a reserve derby in March 2012 and was ruled out for ten months following surgery. In February 2014, reserve team coach Willie Donachie was forced to resign from the club after striking Streete after the teenager gave away a penalty in a defeat to Sunderland reserves.
Loan to Port Vale
He joined League One side Port Vale on loan on 9 October 2014, with Rob Page's "Valiants" yet to keep a clean sheet in the 2014–15 season. He had been linked with a move to Vale Park for a number of weeks, but the loan deal was delayed after Alan Pardew named him in Newcastle's travelling party to Crystal Palace and Stoke City. He made his professional debut in the Football League at Vale Park on 25 October, coming on for Carl Dickinson at half-time, and he helped the club to record their first clean sheet of the season with a 3–0 victory over Leyton Orient. His loan deal was then extended by a further two months. On 12 November, Streete was recalled by Newcastle United following injuries to three of their regular centre-backs.
Loan to Rangers
On 2 February 2015, Streete joined Scottish Championship club Rangers on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season, along with Newcastle teammates Gaël Bigirimana, Shane Ferguson, Kevin Mbabu and Haris Vučkić. The move reportedly guaranteed him first team football, as Rangers caretaker-manager Kenny McDowall claimed the club's management instructed him to play all five Newcastle players in the first eleven. Yet only Streete and Vučkić started the next game, a Scottish Cup defeat to Raith Rovers at Ibrox Stadium, which saw Streete leave the pitch with an injury before half-time.
He was released by Newcastle at the end of the 2014–15 season, having requested a free transfer away from St James' Park in order to find first team football elsewhere.
Port Vale
Streete signed a two-year contract with Port Vale in June 2015, stating that he decided to commit himself to the "Valiants" due to the appreciation shown to him by the club's supporters following his previous loan spell. He started the 2015–16 season competing with Richard Duffy and Ryan Inniss for one of two available centre-back places. However he then also fell behind Ryan McGivern in the pecking order, and failed to make an appearance for four months after playing in the 2–0 FA Cup defeat to Exeter City on 6 December.
He started the 2016–17 season in a centre-back partnership with Nathan Smith, and scored his first goal in professional football on 13 August to secure a 2–0 home win over Southend United. His goal and performance saw him named in the Football League Paper's League One Team of the Day. Manager Bruno Ribeiro stated that: "for me he is a top player and can play in the Premier League. He has the quality for that".
Personal life
He is the son of former Cambridge United and Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Floyd Streete.
