Exeter City have confirmed that striker Alex Nicholls will remain with the club on loan for another month.
The Northampton Town player's deal had been due to expire this Sunday.
However, the 26-year-old will now remain at St James's Park until Sunday, October 26, when the Grecians travel to Morecambe.
During five games with the Grecians so far, his only goal proved to be the winner away at Cambridge - which his first for almost two years after returning from a lengthy spell sidelined with injury.
However, Northampton have the option of recalling Nicholls at 24 hours' notice at any time during his loan spell.
