City hope loanee stays on

WORCESTER City say they will do everything in their power to extend the stay of Graham Hutchison.

The central defender has been on loan from Birmingham City for a month and been an impressive addition to the back line.

However, his deal runs out today and he may look to seek a move from the Blues before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.

City manager Carl Heeley said: “I have been really pleased with him, he’s done ever so well for us but in the transfer window he may be looking to see if there’s any options out there.

“We would be keen to keep the lad, he fits in well with us, we’re happy with what he’s done and we’ll also see what develops.

“If we can extend it then we will try our best to do so.”

Heeley added: “He’s a good player but when agents are involved it’s hard to say.

“We’ll keep talking to Birmingham City because they’ve been fabulous and we’ll keep talking to him because I know he’s enjoyed it.”

Ashley Sammons did not travel to Colwyn Bay as City had already decided the midfielder wouldn’t be involved in the match.

Left-back Shabir Khan has been loaned to Halesowen Town in a bid to get match practice.
