Westley may try to extend Bristol City full-back's loan deal

Preston North End manager Graham Westley intends to speak to Bristol City regarding a possible loan extension for defender Jamie McAllister. The 33-year-old's one-month stay at Preston has expired after he missed Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Sheffield United due to a hamstring injury. McAllister had moved to Deepdale to build up his match fitness after failing to feature for City since Derek McInnes took charge at Ashton Gate. The left-back had been sidelined by an ankle injury earlier in the campaign and Westley aims to hold talks with McInnes to discuss McAllister's situation. "Jamie had a fitness test on Saturday morning but didn't make it," said Westley in the Lancashire Evening Post. "It was disappointing to lose a player of his experience so late in the day. "With his loan, we have agreed to have a conversation with his club and him, and we'll make a decision from there."
