Liverpool youngster Lloyd Jones extends Blackpool loan

Liverpool youngster Lloyd Jones has extended his loan deal with Blackpool until the end of the season.

The Reds' Under-21 captain, 19, joined the League One club on a short-term youth loan last month.

However, after playing in all of their pre-season friendlies, the Seasiders have decided to keep the defender for a longer spell.

"I'm very excited for the season coming up, there's lots of games and hopefully lots of experience to be gained as well," he told Blackpool's official website.

Jones, who has been capped by England at Under-20 level, was loaned to Cheltenham Town and Accrington Stanley last season.
