Eustace loan may be lengthened

Speculation that John Eustace may be able to stay at Hereford United for another month increased this afternoon after Stoke City suggested that Lee Hendie is set to stay at the Britannia Stadium until the New Year.

The Official Stoke City Website says:

City boss Tony Pullis has confirmed Lee Hendrie's loan spell at the Britannia Stadium is set to be extended until the New Year.

The current deal with Hendie finishes on December 2nd.

LATER: The Stoke manager confirmed to Staffordshire press that Hendrie is staying at Stoke for a further month.

"We've got him for a third month and I can't thank Martin O'Neill enough for his help," said Pullis.

"He's allowed us to have Lee for that extra month and that's got to be fantastic news, for both the player and Stoke City."
