Whitby Town extend Daniel James' loan from Middlesbrough by a further 30 days

Whitby Town have extended midfielder Daniel James' youth loan from Middlesbrough by a further 30 days.

James initially joined Whitby Town in September, having progressed through the Middlesbrough academy after first linking up with the club at Under-13 level. His loan was previously extended by a month on 9 October.

He has made 11 appearances in all competitions for Whitby Town. During the 2023-24 season he made more than 25 appearances for Middlesbrough's Under-18s before moving into Premier League 2 football, and he signed a first professional contract ahead of the 2024-25 season. He has also played for the Middlesbrough Under-21s and been involved in England youth camps.

The extension comes as Whitby Town have lost their last four games in all competitions, the latest a 3-1 defeat away to Avro on Wednesday 11 November.
