Millwall defender Pat O'Connor has had his loan spell with the Beavers extended to February 1 following discussions with the club and Millwall.

The 20-year-old has made three appearances for the club in his initial spell which has been disrupted by the poor weather.

On confirming the extension Alan Devonshire commented: "With games coming thick and fast over the next 4 weeks I'm delighted to be able to retain Pat over this period, he has fitted in really well and done well for the side."

Following the break in at Hammond's this weekend Pat's first month's loan has been funded by the Independent Supporters Pledge Fund and Dev has been quick to thank the fans who have contributed to the fund.

"I'd like to thank the supporters who have put their hand in their pockets to help me, the players and the club out. It is really truly appreciated."

Pat will be in the squad for this weekend's trip to Havant, kick off at Westleigh Park is 3pm.
