Teenage Leicester striker Tom Hopper has extended his loan spell at League One basement club Bury until the New Year.

The 18-year-old initially joined Kevin Blackwell's side on a one-month deal, but the two clubs have agreed to extend his stay until January 3. Hopper has scored twice in seven appearances for the Shakers, who have yet to win a game this season and are rooted to the bottom of the table. The youngster came through the Foxes' Academy but has yet to make an appearance for the first team.
