Matty Pennington extends Coventry City stay

Everton youngster Matty Pennington has extended his loan spell with Coventry City until February 7.

The 20-year-old arrived at the Ricoh Arena in November and he has gone on to make six appearances for the League One club.

"We've been really impressed by Matty's performances since he has joined up with us. He has been excellent not only on the pitch, but the way he conducts himself off it is a credit to the grounding he has received from Everton," manager Steven Pressley told the club's official website.

"We're delighted to extend his spell here as he has reached all of our expectations both on and off the pitch. His attitude has been superb. He provides us with versatility in defence and we look forward to continue working with him."

The right-back's initial stint with Coventry was due to expire on January 4.
