Picken extends County loan stay

The 23-year-old joined the Magpies on a month-long deal on January 8 but will remain at Meadow Lane for the remainder of the campaign after the two clubs reached an agreement over the weekend."It is really good news for us. Phil has performed well in every game he has played. He is a winner with a great attitude and he is just the type of player I want at this football club," County manager Ian McParland told the club's official website."I am sure he will continue to perform for us and I am looking forward to working with him for the rest of the season."
