Leeds United youngster extends loan stay after unexpected six-goal impact from midfield
Leeds United U21s midfielder Cian Coleman has extended his stay with National League North side Buxton FC, as first reported by the YEP.
Coleman left Thorp Arch on a first senior loan last month, dropping into non-league to play for Derbyshire club Buxton.
Since arriving on an initial one-month deal, Coleman has scored four and assisted twice in seven appearances, becoming integral to John McGrath’s side.
This appeared most evident in a recent fixture with Scunthorpe United, during which Coleman scored three times from midfield as Buxton ran out 3-2 winners.
A former Irish youth international, 20-year-old Coleman has featured in central midfield, defensive midfield and left-back throughout his brief stint in National League North, making his impressive tally of goal contributions all the more standout.
Buxton have won five, drawn one and lost one of the seven games Coleman has featured in since joining last month. The team are currently sixth in the table, four points off league leaders Chorley in what appears a fiercely-contested division.
Coleman’s loan will be extended until the beginning of January, similar to the extension signed between Leeds and York City for young attacker Luca Thomas earlier this week.
