Argyle Want To Keep Roo Lowry

as seen on au.fourfourtwo.com

Plymouth Argyle boss Paul Sturrock has indicated he wants to extend Socceroo Shane Lowry’s loan deal from Aston Villa.

The 20-year-old Perth-born defender, who has been part of the last two Socceroos camps, has impressed at Argyle since joining on loan from Villa in September.

But with his three-month stint at Home Park set to expire on December 17, Sturrock has revealed he wants to keep the young Aussie.

Sturrock said: "We have a difficult time coming up. We have a lot of players going back at the end of December. "I am very hopeful that some of the ones already here, will continue here."

Lowry, along with Manchester United youngster David Gray and Welshman Darcy Blake, all arrived at Plymouth on loan earlier this season and helped Argyle move out of the drop zone after a slow start to the season.

Lowry's hopes of making the Australian World Cup squad probably rely on him getting regular game-time, something which is unlikely back at Champions League-chasing Villa.
