MATT Heath will stay at Colchester United for the rest of the season, after having his loan deal extended yesterday.

Centre-half Heath's original loan move from Leeds United was set to expire after tomorrow's away game at Leicester City, but now he will be available for the final three games of the campaign.

Heath's return last weekend, following a two-game absence with a calf injury, coincided with a rare clean-sheet in a 2-0 win over Ipswich.

Tomorrow will be a special occasion for Heath, because he started his career at Leicester and supported them as a boy.
