Thompson is a product of Nottingham Forest's youth academy

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."

The 28-year-old Irishman has made five appearances for the Magpies.

Thompson joined Oldham from Forest on a free transfer in 2007.

He made more than 100 appearances for Forest and has been capped by the Republic of Ireland three times.
