Matty Dolan extends Hartlepool United loan from Middlesbrough

Hartlepool United have extended Matty Dolan's loan from Middlesbrough until the New Year.

The 20-year-old midfielder joined the League Two side at the end of August and will now be able to feature for Pool in all games up to and including the trip to Southend United on January 4, 2013.

"We're delighted that we've been able to extend Matty's stay again," manager Colin Cooper told Hartlepool's official website.

"It's great that we've been able to get the deal done with Middlesbrough and I'd like to thank them for their help with it."

Dolan has made 16 appearances and scored one goal since moving to Hartlepool, who have won four of their last six to pull away from the bottom and travel to Bury tonight.
