Darlington have agreed a deal with Leeds United to keep defender Ben Parker until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has made seven appearances for the Quakers since joining the League Two promotion-chasers last month but his initial loan deal was due to expire after this weekend's game.

The loan arrangement includes an option for a further extension should Dave Penney's side reach the play-offs, although United have also inserted an immediate release clause.

Parker has made 15 first-team appearances for United since making his debut in the Carling Cup win at Macclesfield Town in August 2007.
