The Blues have confirmed the extension of midfielder Richard Chaplow’s loan from Millwall until the end of the season.
As was also the case with striker Luke Varney, the 30-year-old joined the Blues for an initial month but with an agreement that he could stay for the rest of the season. The break allows the 93-day limit of his loan to stretch to the end of the play-offs.
Chaplow’s new deal runs to the final day of the regular Championship season on Saturday 2nd May with an option for him to stay until after the play-offs if required.
The Accrington-born midfielder has made two starts and two sub appearances for the Blues and scored the dramatic 95th minute winner at Watford on Saturday.
