AFTER impressing on loan at Scunthorpe United, Ramon Nunez will now be given the chance to do the same at parent club Leeds United.

Whites boss Simon Grayson has taken up the option to extend the midfielder's contract by a further year following his sparkling form with the Iron.

Nunez signed off at Glanford Park with a superb individual strike in Saturday's final day draw with Portsmouth.

It brought his goal tally up to three from eight appearances in claret and blue.

And Grayson has challenged the Honduran international to create a similarly positive impression back at Elland Road.

"We signed Ramon in January until the end of the season, but with an option for another year," Grayson said.

"He is a talented player and he's proved that by doing well at Scunthorpe so we have decided to exercise that option.

"Ramon will come back in the summer with an opportunity to make an impression here."

Scunthorpe boss Alan Knill had consistently been an admirer of Nunez, and though a permanent deal was always unlikely, with wages identified as a stumbling block, there always remains a possibility of another loan deal next season.
