Bulls in Talks with Blackpool over Barkhuizen Loan deal

Hereford United manager Jamie Pitman has confirmed that the club are in talks with Blackpool over an extension to the loan deal of winger Tom Barkhuizen. Pitman would like to keep the player at Edgar Street for the rest of the season but he admits the decision is up to Blackpool.

"Tom, obviously, is enjoying himself," Pitman told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"He's scoring goals, he's playing games, he's happy here.

"For his developement as an 18/19 year old it would be great for him to continue to do that.

"But at the end of the day we are in Blackpool's hands with that."

To date Barkhuizen has scored eight goals in nineteen appearances for the Bulls.
