Jefferson Louis

Diamonds extend Louis loan

Rushden & Diamonds and Crawley Town have agreed to extend Jefferson Louis' loan spell, so that he stays at Nene Park until the end of the season.

The Striker joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan in November, however unfortunately got injured in his first game for the Diamonds, that combined with postponements due to the weather meant a fragmented early loan spell for the Dominican.

Despite the stop start nature of his loan spell, Jefferson has scored 3 times, in 6 starts and 1 substitute appearance.

Rushden & Diamonds Manager Justin Edinburgh commented on Saturday's two-goal performance: "I think his performance was very good, as was the team's.

"Before the game we knew we were pretty thin on the ground with Aaron and Cliff injured so we were looking to extend the loan anyway, if you see a player putting in that kind of performance, you want to keep him.

"We know Jeff and he knows us and he's settled in well."
