HIGHLY-RATED young goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne has extended his loan spell at Vanarama National League North club Lowestoft Town.
The 18-year-old stopper has impressed during his brief stint with the Trawlerboys and has agreed to a one-month extension.
The 6ft 5ins youngster, who signed a two-year professional deal with Championship club Wolves in the summer, has already picked up two man-of-the-match awards.
Burgoyne said: “I have enjoyed working with Ady (Gallagher, manager); along with his management team and the players at Lowestoft, so when the opportunity came about to extend my loan it didn’t require much persuasion.
“While I knew that it (going out on loan) was never going to be a walk in the park at Lowestoft, I was obviously keen to give a good account of myself.
“As a young goalkeeper, you can’t beat playing first team football to help you to push on with your career. I’m grateful, therefore, that Ady has given me that opportunity; and while some results have narrowly gone against us, I can see that Ady has the nucleus of a very good side, which feels great to be part of.”
The Trawlerboys, meanwhile, have announced the departures of three players. Dan Gleeson has moved to Cambridge City, keeper Marcus Garnham has been released and Scott Mitchell has left due to work commitments.
