Tranmere Rovers manager Ronnie Moore hopes he can extend loanee John Thompson's time at Prenton Park.

The 25-year-old has impressed Moore since arriving on loan from Nottingham Forest last month and played in the recent wins against Bournemouth and Millwall.

"He's done well for us," said the former Rotherham United manager. "He's a quality player and we've taken him for a month with a view to seeing how things are going on both sides.

"Hopefully he'll enjoy us and we'll enjoy him and I can go and put a bit of pressure on the chairman by saying he'd like to stay until the end of the season or until the end of the year.

"At this time he's played two league games for us and done well. He's got great ability and when we're under the cosh he calms things down a bit. He's a cultured footballer."
