Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson is earning high praise during his loan spell with National League side Notts County.

The 21-year-old joined the Magpies on an initial one-month loan deal but has since seen his stay at Meadow Lane extended into the New Year with Ian Burchnall's side.

Patterson has featured nine times keeping three clean sheets and has impressed supporters who are hoping the young Cats stopper will remain for the rest of the campaign.
