Watkins to extend loan spell

20 October 2010 13:00
Cheltenham winger Marley Watkins is set to extend his loan spell with Bath City by a further two months. The loan extension will have various clauses which will bar Watkins from playing in Bath's FA Cup games and also includes a 24 hour recall clause. Robins manager Mark Yates feels the loan spell is beneficial for all involved parties. "Marley has done really well during his first month on loan and Bath are very pleased with him" he told the club's official website. "At this time both we as a club and Marley as a player will gain far more from him playing regular first team football against good quality opposition that from him sitting on the bench here. "The move has been beneficial for all concerned and I have been able to see an improvement in him already at training."
