Stephen Dobbie keen to extend Blackpool loan

Crystal Palace forward Stephen Dobbie has urged his parent club to allow him to extend his loan spell at Blackpool.

The 31-year-old has scored two goals in 14 Championship appearances since joining the Tangerines in September.

His current loan deal is due to expire after Sunday's clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, but Dobbie is keen to stay at Bloomfield Road until the end of the season.

"I have made no secret of how much I like playing here at this club," Dobbie told the Blackpool Gazette. "So if it's sorted I'll be happy to stay here and do my bit.

"I am just waiting for things to be sorted. Hopefully we can get it extended until the end of the season."

Dobbie is enjoying his third spell at Blackpool, having twice been loaned to Lancashire outfit during his Swansea City days.
