Rovers to keep Shotton for further month
Tranmere Rovers have today extended the loan spell of defender Ryan Shotton for a further month after an impressive first month in the white shirt.

Shotton, who is on loan at Tranmere from Premier League new boys Stoke City, has already become a firm hit with the fans at Prenton Park, where his defensive brilliance and goal scoring ability has firmly secured his place in the Tranmere team at the moment, ahead of fellow defenders Gareth Edds, Godwin Antwi and Danny Holmes.

Joining Tranmere at the end of August, Shotton has so far started five games for Tranmere and scored two goals, the vital winner away at Huddersfield and a 30-yard screamer against Colchester United.

The player, who has so far been selected in the League One team of the week twice since joining the club, will now be at Prenton Park until at least the end of October.
