Rochdale extend loan of Atkinson

Will Atkinson insists he is delighted to have extended his loan stay at Rochdale.

The Hull winger will remain at Spotland for a further month, subject to confirmation from the Football League, and he is looking forward to spending more time at the club.

"It's a great place to be at the moment and I didn't hesitate when ask to stay," he told the club's official website.

"It always helps when you are winning games but it makes it really enjoyable when you play alongside some fantastic players and we have plenty of them here."

Rotherham midfielder Jason Taylor has also extended his stay with the Coca-Cola League Two leaders by another month.

Taylor, 22, who has played six matches and scored one goal for Keith Hill's side, will remain at Spotland until January 16. He will be ineligible for the game between Rochdale and Rotherham on January 2.
