Oldham Athletic winger Jonny Smith has extended his loan with the club until the end of the season.

Smith joined Latics on a season long loan from Bristol City last summer, but he returned by parent club Bristol City in January due to a recall clause in his contract.

However, City have since agreed that Smith can stay with Oldham until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old has so far made 23 appearances, scoring seven goals in his fourth loan spell away from the Championship club.

On the news, Head Coach Dino Maamria said; "The club have worked very hard to get this done after interest from others due to the fine form he has been in.

"He's a big part of this team this season and he's really enjoying his time here, so it was only right we tried to keep a hold of him, which I am sure the fans will be happy about.”
