John Ruddy and Shaleum Logan have signed extensions to their loan contracts

Jim Gannon has pleased the fans with the extensions of John Ruddy's and Shaleum Logan's loan contracts until the end of the season.

It was unknown as to whether Shaleum Logan would be able to play again this season after tearing his thigh muscle but it seems the tear was only small and he could be in contention to start against Macclesfield on Friday night. The pacey rightback is a great acquisition as the end of the season looms closer.

John Ruddy has been a regular between the posts since his arrival on loan from Everton. Ruddy has made 5 appearances so far during his loan spell and he has only conceded one goal in the process - his presence has given the defence a good confidence boost.

Along with new loanee Johann Smith, County look as if they are going to peak at exactly the right time in order to secure a valuable playoff position.
