John Ruddy and Lukas Jutkiewicz have extended their loan stay at Motherwell Football Club.

The Everton duo have impressed in Scotland this season, and a month-long extension is designed to allow both clubs to discuss long-term deals for the pair.

“This extension gives us a little bit more time to get things sorted with Everton,” said Motherwell general manager, Leann Dempster.

"We are very keen to keep both players but with the January transfer window promising to be busy for both clubs, this gives us a safety net to ensure the guys can play in our vital matches this month."
