Monkhouse ponders Swindon return

Hartlepool winger Andy Monkhouse has not ruled extending his loan spell at Victoria Park when his deal expires after Saturday's game against Bury.

Monkhouse said: "I'm intending to speak to the Paul Sturrock (Swindon boss).

"He said come for a month, it's nothing longer than that so unless something changes I expect to go back.

"But if Hartlepool want me to stay I would be delighted to stay - especially the way we are playing at the minute," he told the the Northern Echo.
