Bristol City extend Matt Smith loan until March

Bristol City have extended the loan of star striker Matt Smith from Fulham until March 1.

Smith has scored nine goals in 12 games for the Robins since joining in November and will now remain with them for another month.

City will be unable to extend Smith's stay again as an emergency loan has a maximum length of 93 days.

The 25-year-old is behind the likes of Hugo Rodallega, Ross McCormack and Bryan Ruiz in the pecking order at Craven Cottage.

Steve Cotterill's side are currently second in the League One table, with a game in hand on leaders Swindon Town.
