Burton have reached a deal to extend the loan spell of Leicester striker Jacob Blyth.

Blyth's temporary stay at the Pirelli Stadium was due to expire this month but the 22-year-old will now remain with the League Two club until the end of the season. The Leicester loanee has scored five goals in 22 appearances since joining Burton in August - all of them coming away from home. Blyth, who had a short loan spell with the Brewers during the 2012/13 campaign, would be eligible to play in the play-offs should Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side be involved.
