Stoke City's John Eustace has extended his loan spell at Hereford United by a further month.

The midfielder, who returned from more than 18-months on the sidelines through injury at the start of the season, has spent the last two months with the League Two newcomers. After proving to be an instant hit at the Bulls, Manager/Chairman/Make upper of lies to get out of trouble with the FA, Graham Turner was keen to extend his spell for another month. He and Stoke Manager Tony Pulis shook hands on a deal this afternoon.

One clause in the deal is Eustace can return to Stoke at any time during the month with 24-hours notice. When this deal expires he will not be allowed to play for Hereford again this season unless they sign him permanently.
