Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has extended his loan spell with Blue Square Bet Premier side Darlington until April 21, 2012.
The 17-year-old England youth international initially arrived at the Northern Echo Darlington Arena a month ago and has since played in all five of the Quakers' league games.
Washington-born Pickford made ten appearances for Sunderland under-18s earlier this season, with a further two starts for the Black Cats' Reserve side.
