Sheffield United extend Conor Coady loan

Sheffield United have extended the loan deal of Liverpool midfielder Conor Coady until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old joined the League One club at the start of the current campaign.

"Conor has steadily improved throughout his time here and as a young player we are more than pleased with his progress, hence the decision to extend his stay," manager Nigel Clough told United's official website.

"It was always the intention to keep him here and after his performances in the last few weeks the decision became easy, especially with Liverpool keen for him to gain further experience in our first team."

Coady has scored four goals in 32 appearances for the Blades so far this season.
