O'Kelly "would love" to keep Healy

Doncaster assistant manager Richard O'Kelly has confirmed the club are keen to extend David Healy's loan spell. Northern Ireland international Healy, 31, has proved a big hit at the Keepmoat Stadium since being drafted in from Sunderland earlier this month as cover for Billy Sharp, scoring twice in three appearances. O'Kelly said: "David's got two weeks left on his deal and then it's in the hands of Sunderland. From our point of view we'd love to keep him. "It's not just his goals, it's his understanding of the game. He's a footballer who fits into what we do and the way we play, so it would be silly not to want to keep him. "It might come down to finances in the end, though. I think we've been good for David Healy and he's been good for us."
