REECE COLE, the Brentford midfielder currently on loan at Partick Thistle, has extended his loan deal at the Maryhill club until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old's loan was set to expire but Cole will now remain at Firhill until the end of the campaign after becoming a key player in Ian McCall's side.
Cole told the club’s website: “I’m delighted to be staying here until the end of the season and seeing where we can go between now and the summer.
“Around the club, it’s a very friendly environment and it’s a family club. I was welcomed through the door straight away and especially with the new gaffer, I’m progressing well and I feel that this is the best place to further my career and get my name about even more.
“I love playing alongside Banzo [Stuart Bannigan], he’s an amazing player. On the ball and off the ball, his work rate is always there and the gaffer always uses him as an example in training. We’ve got a good partnership and you can see over the last few games that we’ve been doing well.
“After scoring a late winner against Queen of the South and running over to the fans, that was when I made my mind up that I would be staying."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
