SCUNTHORPE United defender Andrew Boyce will stay with the Mariners for at least another month after the Iron agreed to extend the player's loan.

The 24-year-old defender enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Mariners last season and returned ahead of Town's opener at Bristol Rovers.  He has since played in every game and helped the Mariners to keep a solid back-line, conceding only two goals in the opening five games.
