Midfielder Max Jolliffe has been recalled from his loan spell at Yeovil Town by League Two Colchester United.
The 20-year-old, who arrived under former boss Richard Dryden at the end of October, has not started a game since the end of December and not featured since appearing as an 89th minute substitute in the 3-1 home win over Braintree Town at the start of the month.
He was not even named on the substitutes’ bench in the previous two games with manager Billy Rowley bringing in a number of other midfielders including Cardiff City loan duo Dakari Mafico and Troy Perrett and Bromley’s Josh Tobin.
Under National League rules, a club can only name five loan players in a matchday squad. The current Glovers loanees are goalkeeper Jed Ward, midfielders Mafico, Perrett and Tobin and forward Terrell Works. Both Andrew Oluwabori and James Plant returned to their parent clubs, Exeter City and Port Vale, earlier this month.
Jolliffe was named in the National League Team of the Week for his performance on his debut in a 1-1 draw with Carlisle in October.
