The talented 19-year-old made an instant impact, announcing his arrival with a terrific debut goal against Hemel Hempstead Town and turning in strong performances at left-back.

“Franklin has been a brilliant addition to our squad,” commented Sports manager Danny Bloor.

“He works hard in training and on the pitch, and makes a really good impression around the club. He is a fine ambassador for his parent club QPR.

“I am really grateful to Rangers and especially to my old friend from Albion days, Chris Ramsey, for making Franklin available to us.”

Domi’s loan extension mirrors that of Jack Skinner, whose loan extension from Woking was also agreed on Friday.

The Aussie youngster – he moved over with his family from Brisbane at the age of 14 – has been a lively presence in the Borough attack.

“Jack is a real box of tricks,” said Danny, “and he really showed his mettle last Wednesday night when he stepped up, like a seasoned pro, to bury that winning penalty and put us into the Senior Cup final!”

“Once again, we are really grateful to Alan Dowson and his staff at Woking FC. Both of these lads demonstrate the value of loan agreements to all parties.

"Both Jack and Franklin have brought a burst of fresh energy to us, and they are gaining valuable experience which can only benefit them in their longer term careers.”
