Matt Tubbs extends Crawley Town stay

Crawley Town have extended the loan of Bournemouth striker Matt Tubbs until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old rejoined the League One club on an initial one-month loan switch last week.

Crawley boss John Gregory has admitted that Tubbs impressed him during the club's 2-2 draw with Coventry on Sunday.

"In the 10 days or so since he's been here, including the Coventry game, I have been absolutely delighted with Matt," Gregory told the club's official website.

"His attitude has been first class in training and we saw on Sunday what he has to offer on the pitch when I thought he was excellent. We are delighted to have him here with us until the end of the season and I know Matt is pleased it's all sorted out. He loves this club, as our fans know, and he is delighted to have sorted out an extension to the loan.

"I must also thank AFC Bournemouth for their help and co-operation. It's a deal which suits all parties and we look forward to having Matt with us for the rest of the season."

Crawley host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
