Atkins prolongs Lambs loan

12 January 2011 12:30
Derby goalkeeper Ross Atkins has seen his loan stay at Tamworth extended until the end of the season. The 21-year-old joined the Blue Square Premier club on the eve of the new season but returned to Pride Park as cover before resuming his loan in November. The England youth international's deal expired this week but Rams manager Nigel Clough was happy to extend it. "This has been a good move for Ross," he told County`s official website. "He is playing games, which is far better for him at this stage than playing a reserve-team game every three weeks. "We will continue to monitor his form very closely."
