Last updated : 12 December 2007 By The Chairman
Ryan Bertrand, currently on a half-season loan at Athletic, has signed a new three and a half year contract at Chelsea. The 18 year old has confessed that he is happy at Boundary Park and would relish the chance to extend his stay beyond 1st. January.

Bertrand said, "My time with Oldham has been brilliant and they have given me the chance to play regular first-team football which is what I was looking for when I came. If the opportunity comes about to stay, I would be happy to do so, though that is out of my hands as I don't know what both clubs want to do."
