Shaun Whalley extends AFC Telford loan
Winger Shaun Whalley is clear to play in AFC Telford United's home game against Bradford Park Avenue tomorrow after his loan extension was confirmed.
The paperwork has been ratified with Skrill Conference Premier league leaders Luton Town for the 26-year-old to stay in Shropshire until the end of the season.
His one-month terms expired last weekend, with a verbal agreement to keep him already struck between Telford manager Liam Watson and Luton boss John Still.
He's likely to keep his starting place against Bradford Park Avenue at the New Bucks Head with another wide man, Robbie Booth, the only doubt through illness.
Captain Simon Grand and midfielder Russell Benjamin are both fit again for the Skrill Conference North table-toppers, with Watson planning more squad rotation.
He said: "There will be changes from last weekend and there's one or two in my mind that I need to look after, even if they won't agree with me!
"That's fair enough, because they all want to play, and it's down to me to make and stand by those decisions."
Watson wants his Telford side to right the wrongs of September's 3-1 at Avenue, which was one of their worst performances of the season.
He said: "After the Bradford game, I was a touch worried because they were that much stronger than us, so I am surprised they are mid-table."
