Notts County have extended the loan spell of John Thompson from Oldham Athletic for an extra two months.
The former Nottingham Forest defender will remain at Meadow Lane until 3 January and is eligible to play in the Magpies FA Cup tie at Sutton United.
Magpies manager Ian McParland told the club website: "He has been excellent during his time here and we're pleased to have him in the camp until 2009."
