Bristol Rovers starlet's loan deal extended with fellow academy graduate also on the move

Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Jed Ward has extended his loan at Hungerford Town until the end of the season having impressed so far during his short stint at Bulpit Lane.

Ward, who spent time on loan at Swindon Supermarine and Prescot Cables last season, moved down the M4 last month and has since made five appearances in the National League South, conceding three goals and keeping two clean sheets and winning man of the match on debut against St Albans City.

The 19-year-old, who has trained with the England Under-19 squad, is highly-rated at Rovers and has been around the first-team set-up throughout Joey Barton’s time with the Gas but this season gives the Bristolian the opportunity to get a full senior campaign under his belt.
