On-loan midfielder Anthony Pulis is keen to extend his short spell at Stockport County.

The 26-year-old is currently on a one month deal from Southampton.

He told BBC Radio Manchester: "It's been good so far, I've played in all three games and that's what I came here for, regular first team football.

"The loan finishes after the game at Morecambe, and then it's down to the club and manager, but I'd love to extend the deal."

The former Wales U21-international began his career at Portsmouth, before moving to Stoke and then Southampton.

He has also had loan spells at Bristol Rovers, Grimsby Town, Lincoln City, Plymouth and Torquay United.

Pulis is the son of current Stoke manager Tony Pulis, and is playing in the same side as Jake Simpson, son of County manager Paul.

Pulis said: "I was at Stoke with my dad, so I know what it's like for Jake but he's a decent player and he doesn't get treated differently to anybody else.

"I think that if anything it's more difficult for him because he has to do that little bit more to impress.

"There's not a problem with the other players and everyone accepts him because he's good enough and there should never be a problem with that."
