Notts County extend Callum Ball loan

Derby County striker Callum Ball has extended his loan deal with Notts County until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old, who also spent time on loan at Torquay United earlier this campaign, moved to Meadow Lane on a short-term basis in November.

County boss Shaun Derry has said that he is pleased to secure Ball's services for the remainder of the campaign.

"Derby have been great and Steve McClaren has fully acknowledged what we are trying to do here," Sky Sports News quotes Derry as saying.

"One or two other clubs were interested in signing Callum so for him to choose Notts County shows he believes in what we are trying to do here."

Ball has made four appearances for the League One outfit.
