GLOVERS NEWS: Matt Butcher and Ben Whitfield stay at Yeovil Town

YEOVIL Town have extended the loan deals of AFC Bournemouth duo Ben Whitfield and Matt Butcher until the end of the season.

The pair were both involved in the Glovers defeat at Crawley Town on January 2, 2017, in what would have been their last game for the club.

However, manager Darren Way has opted to extend the midfielders’ time at Huish Park having become integral parts of the squad.

Butcher, who has featured in both midfield and defence for Town, has made 23 appearances for Yeovil scoring once, while Whitfield – who joined at the end of August - has played on 22 occasions scoring twice.

Having secured their services, Way said: “They’ve played a massive role in our season so far and I’ve been very impressed with some of their outstanding performances.

“Both of them have shown unbelievable desire and enthusiasm to make this football club successful.

“Bournemouth are very happy and impressed with their development for such young players and we look forward to continuing our relationship with another Premier League club.”
