Ryan Smith has been allowed to stay at The Den for the remainder of the campaign after Derby County manager Billy Davies agreed to extend his loan spell with The Lions.

The 20-year-old winger, who started his career at Arsenal, has impressed many with his perfomances for Willie Donachie's side since joining last month and played an instrumental part in both goals on Saturday.

With Tom Brighton ruled out for the rest of the season, Donachie moved to secure the player's services with The Lions just seven points off an improbably play-off spot.
