Motherwell manager Mark McGhee is delighted that he looks set to retain loan stars Connor Ripley and Liam Grimshaw until the end of the season.
Goalkeeper Ripley (22) and midfielder Grimshaw (20) were due to return to their respective parent clubs Middlesbrough and Manchester United next month, but both are in discussions to remain at Fir Park until next summer.
Connor and Grimmy have been excellent and I expect them both to stay until the end of the season, McGhee said.
I think the deals will get done by next week. Ill be delighted to get them signed, because I dont want to be scrambling around looking for players.
Connor has the makings of a really good keeper. He has all the attributes hes a big lad, with a real presence and great confidence.
He does some really hard work and when he goes back down to his parent club he could be in contention for a starting place there.
Grimshaw has also been terrific. Hes come from Manchester United but hes one of us. He has total heart for Motherwell and works as hard as any player here.
He is a great lad whos getting better and better with each game.
