Stoke City defender Carl Dickinson is happy to have extended his loan with Barnsley to the end of the season.

Dickinson joined the Tykes in September and has since appeared 13 times for Mark Robins' side, scoring once.

"I am delighted to be back here and I have settled in really well," he told Barnsley's website.

"It is pleasing to know where I will be between now and the end of the season and I just want to do my best for Barnsley.

"I think I have been getting stronger and better with each game. Hopefully I can kick on again now and keep doing that."
