Nugent extends Clarets loan spell

01 February 2010 14:30
Nugent has been on loan at Turf Moor since the start of the season and was due to return to Fratton Park but Portsmouth were keen to keep the England striker off their wage bill given the poor financial state of the club.[LNB]The 24-year-old, who has one international cap, has scored three times in 21 appearances for the Clarets.[LNB]Although the striker was signed by former manager Owen Coyle, current boss Brian Laws has used the former Preston striker on a regular basis since his appointment last month.[LNB]Nugent's decision to stay at Turf Moor is a welcome boost for Laws, whose side are third from bottom and without a win since he took over.[LNB]Laws has already brought in Frederic Nimani, Nicky Weaver, Leon Cort and Danny Fox and also hopes to complete another deal before the transfer window closes at 5pm.[LNB][LNB][LNB] Barclays Premier League.
