FULHAM goalkeeper David Stockdale is set to remain at Home Park.

The 24-year-old stopper, named man of the match in the Pilgrims' 1-1 draw with high-flying Swansea on Tuesday, should complete a one-month extension to his loan deal from Craven Cottage later this week.

Argyle head coach Paul Mariner confirmed that Stockdale, who has played six matches in his first month's loan, would be staying with the Pilgrims.

"He is returning for another month," said Paul. "We're trying to get it [for longer] but we're happy with what [Fulham manager] Roy Hodgson and his staff have asked."

Paul highlightred three key contributions from his young custodian in the midweek draw.

"He made three saves," he said. "Two early on in the first-half with his feet and the one with his hand late on was a great save.

"My viewpoint is that he's improved the team. He helps the unit and he helps the back four, so we're delighted that he's joined us."
