On-loan defender Liam Fontaine is set to return to parent club Fulham when his loan spell at Huish Park comes to an end after the away match at Doncaster on January 2nd. Glovers boss Steve Thompson is keen for the 19-year-old to remain at Yeovil, either for another loan period or preferably permanently, but with the player's Fulham contract running out at the end of the season Fulham manager Chris Coleman wants to assess Fontaine himself before deciding on his future.
"I have spoken to the people at Fulham and they are not in a rush to make a decision," Thommo told the Western Daily Press today. "Liam is due back after the Doncaster game and I think he will go back, because I think they want to have a look at him after being away for so long. But he could still come back to us and I have already expressed a desire to have him at Yeovil for the rest of the season.
"He is a good player and a good lad, although he's not had the best of times in the last two months because he's had two injuries and a bout of illness. Whichever way we could do it we want Liam here. I have told Fulham I would like to extend his loan or do something more permanent. But they are not sure whether that is going to be possible because they might decide to offer Liam a new contract, because they might see him as a potential Premiership player."
