HARIS Vuckic is sticking with Cardiff City’s chase to qualify for the Championship play-offs.

Slovenian teenager Vuckic is coming to the end of his one month loan spell, but City manager Malky Mackay and Newcastle United’s Alan Pardew have already agreed it will be extended until the end of this season.

The highly-rated Vuckic, 19, is eligible for tomorrow's Championship trip to Brighton and Saturday’s away match against Bristol City at Ashton Gate under his current agreement.

A loan extension will then be confirmed which will mean the 6ft 3ins Vuckic stays in the Bluebirds squad.

He has made four Championship appearances and scored one goal, adapting to the different style of football from the Premier League which gives him less time on the ball.

Slovenian Under-21 international Vuckic, whose older brother Alen plays for Lubljana in their home country, started his career with NK Domzale before signing for Newcastle early in 2009.

He played in four Premier League matches for Newcastle this season.
