Gozie Ugwu will be staying at Ebbsfleet for another month.

The 19-year-old Reading youngster has scored three times in his five games so far, and the Stonebridge Road club have extended his loan move, making him available for the next five games, beginning at home to Blue Square Bet Premier title-chasers Wrexham on Tuesday.

Fleet boss Liam Daish (pictured) has been dealing with Royals academy manager Eamonn Dolan and development coach Chris Cummins about Ugwu’s stay.

Daish said: "Gozie has provided something different, is a strong boy, and enjoying playing regular first-team football."

The Fleet have a day off this weekend ahead of the clash against Wrexham.

The North Wales side have been vying with Fleetwood for top spot this season but have dropped off the pace in recent weeks. Daish said: "It’s a tough ask but a game we are looking forward to even more now after getting a result at Gateshead.

"Wrexham are a good side and we were unlucky up there earlier in the season when we conceded a dubious goal."
