Rotherham defender Kerr, 20, and Huddersfield striker Akins, 18, helped Vics to seven points from three games during their first month with the club.

"Both have made a big impact since and I wanted them to be a part of things for a little longer yet," boss Dino Maamria told the Northwich Guardian.

Kerr was sent off in Northwich's FA Trophy loss last weekend and will miss their Setanta Shield tie at Barrow.
