City extend Partridge loan deal

Last updated : 24 October 2002 By Sky Blue
A series of impressive performances for the Sky Blues has convinced player-manager Gary McAllister to extend the initial one month loan deal.

Partridge said: "I've enjoyed the month down here a great deal and I'm more than happy to stay for the rest of the season and get regular first team football.

"It's a great league as you saw last night with two big teams playing against each other and it won't do me any harm whatsoever. I can only gain from it and hopefully it'll be a good stepping stone for me to play for Liverpool.

"I'll be really surprised come the end of the season if we're not at least in the play-offs. All the lads here are great and we?ve all got tunnel vision to get us into the top six places and hopefully come the end of the season we will be there."
