Sigurdsson scored on his Crewe debut, the 4-0 win at Brighton in February

League One strugglers Crewe Alexandra have extended the loan spell of Reading midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old Icelander joined the Alex on an initial one-month deal from the Championship side in February.

Sigurdsson told BBC Radio Stoke: "I have extended the deal until the end of the season, so hopefully we can get a few more wins in the last eight games.

"There is still a lot of points to play for so hopefully we can stay up."

Sigurdsson, who spent a month on loan at Shrewsbury earlier this season, has made seven appearances for Crewe, scoring one goal.
