CONOR Wilkinson has signed a contract extension with Wanderers, with his new deal now taking the young striker up to 2018.

The Whites confirmed an extra two years for the Republic of Ireland youth international, who has impressed since signing from Millwall in the summer of 2013.

Wilkinson has spent time on loan at Chester, Torquay and Oldham in the last 14 months and has also been on the fringes of the first team, making his first senior appearances for the club in Captial One Cup games against Bury and Crewe earlier this season.
