Derby County Under-21s midfielder Harry Hawkins has extended his loan stay with Southern League Central side AFC Telford United.

The 18-year-old signed up with the Bucks for an initial 28-day loan period in December and has extended his stay with the club until Sunday 2nd February.

Hawkins has featured four times for Telford, helping them secure a five-point haul in the Southern League Central with draws against Stourbridge and Hitchin Town and a win over Halesowen Town.

Hawkins joined Derby’s Under-21s squad on a full-time basis after two years with the Under-18s and signed a new deal with the Rams in the summer of 2024. The loan spell with Telford has seen Hawkins gain his first in-depth experience of competitive senior men’s football.

Hawkins has made nine appearances in Premier League 2 for Jake Buxton’s Under-21s side so far this season, including captaining the side against Liverpool and Manchester City in the league.
