Witton Albion extend youngster's loan

Second from bottom in the Northern Premier League, Witton Albion have been boosted by Joe Ferguson’s extension.

After joining last month, Championship side Blackburn have allowed the prospect to extend his loan by a month.

The left back has made three appearances since joining.

Even though The Albs have only gained one point in those games, Ferguson has shown impressive performances.

Manager Carl Macauley was desperate to keep the 19-year-old at the club with them travelling to fellow relegation strugglers Mickleover this weekend. Ferguson, with eight Premier League 2 matches under his belt, will hope to impress his parent club.

Where next?

Double signing for Ashton United Englishman James Melhado and Welshman Matt Sargent have joined Ashton United on loan from League Two side Salford City.
Basford recall keeper The Lions have re-signed goalkeeper Kieran Preston from Northern Premier League Midlands Division side Carlton Town.
