Brian Little is keen to extend the loan deal of Simon Francis from Sheffield United after a good month for the Yorkshireman.

The 20-year old right-back has impressed in his 1 month loan stop at Rovers and Little is keen to keep his new found talent at the club for another month.

For Francis, unless a deal comes through, the League One tie against Brentford on Saturday will be his last game for the club in this spell, as his one month loan deal runs out.

"Simon's done really well and I'm very keen to extend his stay. We have an agreement with Sheffield United and that just needs to be finalised" said Little. "We hope to extend his stay for another month atleast."
