Everton's Ross Barkley extends Sheffield Wednesday loan
- Published
Sheffield Wednesday have agreed a loan extension with Everton for 18-year-old midfielder Ross Barkley, BBC Radio Sheffield reports.
Barkley has made seven appearances for the Owls since joining them on an initial one-month loan.
And the England Under-21 international scored his first senior goal in last month's 2-1 defeat by Bolton.
He is now set to stay at Hillsborough on a week-to-week basis, which is allowed under a youth loan arrangement.
"The boy still has academy status so there's no timescale required on it, so we're lucky in one sense, but then Everton could call him back at a moment's notice if they get any injuries," said Owls boss Dave Jones.
"Ross has got better and better since he came here. The lad has a very bright future and playing games in the Championship will certainly help his development."
