Veteran goalkeeper stays for another month

Veteran goalkeeper Jimmy Walker has extended his loan stay with Colchester for an additional month. The 35-year-old's initial spell from West Ham expired on Saturday, but the League One club have agreed an extension until the middle of February. Walker will now be available for Monday night's League One clash with MK Dons, which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1. The former Walsall man made six appearances during his first month with the Us, helping the club to victories over Leyton Orient, Brighton, Leeds and Northampton. With Rob Green established as the No.1 at Upton Park and Jan Lastuvka and Marek Stech available as back-up, Gianfranco Zola was happy to let the shot-stopper depart. After the MK Dons clash, Walker will be available for the games against Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers, Northampton, Carlisle, Millwall and Stockport. Paul Lambert's side are currently 11th in the League One table, 10 points adrift of the play-off places.
