Crewe extend Everton man's loan
Crewe Alexandra have extended the loan of defender Patrick Boyle from Everton for another month. The full-back, 20, arrived from Goodison Park in January and has made six starts for the Railwaymen.
First-team coach Steve Holland told BBC Radio Stoke: "We're really pleased Everton have allowed Patrick to stay with us. He's improving every game."
The extension of Boyle's stay in South Cheshire provides the Alex with cover for injured left-back Billy Jones.
