Frank Nouble has extended his loan at Gillingham for a further month.

The deal will see the Hammers forward stay for the maximum 93 days allowed under short term loans.

Nouble (pictured) has impressed in his previous two months where he notched five goals in 11 games.

He said after Saturday’s win at Aldershot that he was keen to score at least another four for the Gills.

Nouble, 20, found the target on his debut in the 6-1 win over Hereford and also netted against Burton, Torquay, Morecambe and scored the first goal at the weekend.

He will be eligible for Gillingham’s next three League 2 fixtures, starting with the home game on Saturday against Bradford City. His final game will be against Bristol Rovers at Priestfield on December 17.

Nouble won’t feature in Tuesday’s FA Cup replay against Bournemouth but, if West Ham granted permission and the Gills progress, he could play in round two.

Boss Andy Hessenthaler said: "We are delighted that Frank has agreed to stay for another month."

In January, once the transfer window re-opens, the Gills could take Nouble on loan for the rest of the season - assuming all parties agreed.
