Chesterfield extend Conor Townsend loan from Hull City

Chesterfield have extended the loan spell of Hull City full-back Conor Townsend until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old joined the Spireites on loan in November and has played three games for the League Two side.

He scored and was sent off in his last appearance for the club in a 1-1 draw with Morecambe.

Townsend is available to play in Saturday's home match against Southend, although the game is subject to an 08:00 GMT pitch inspection.
