Hull City are keeping hold of Everton defender Matthew Pennington.

The Liverpool Echo says Pennington will remain on loan at Championship outfit Hull City until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old has joined Everton team-mate Josh Bowler in extending his terms with the Tigers after making 11 appearances this term.

Pennington had forced his way into the reckoning at the KCOM Stadium before the coronavirus pandemic brought a three-month interruption to the campaign with Hull two points above the relegation zone.

The Championship is set to restart on June 20.
