Marvin Bartley extends Leyton Orient loan

Bartley extends Orient loan

Burnley midfielder Marvin Bartley has extended his loan spell at Leyton Orient until January.

The 24-year joined Orient earlier this month on an initial 28-day deal.

He has made four appearances for Russell Slade's side, including a start in Tuesday's extra-time defeat to Hull City in the League Cup.

Slade told the club's official website: "We are delighted to keep Marvin on board, particularly as at one stage it looked like we might be losing him.

"He had a difficult start with us as he wasn't fully fit due to the injury he picked up at Burnley in pre-season.

"However, in training and during the limited minutes that he's had on the pitch, he's shown himself to be a very capable player. Trust me, there's a lot more to come."

Orient, who have won all four of their games in League One this season, scoring 11 goals in the process, visit Colchester United this afternoon.
