Winger Dylan Morgan has been recalled from his three-month loan spell at Weston-super-Mare after just 28 days.
The 22-year-old has played five matches, scoring three times, since joining the National League South side at the end of August.
Announcing his return on the morning of the National League Premier Division fixture with Aldershot Town, the club said: “Morgan’s impressive form has prompted his early return, and he will now rejoin the squad as we look to bolster our attacking options for the upcoming fixtures.”
Weston manager Scott Bartlett said: “Dyl has done really well for us and settled in quickly, he had a good connection with the fans and enjoyed his short time with us.
“We thank Yeovil and are understanding of the situation, and wish them all the very best.”

Morgan started the Glovers’ opening day defeat against Hartlepool United before being substituted after 56 minutes, and appeared as a 61st-minute substitute at Gateshead last month. Boss Mark Cooper explained his loan to the Seagulls was to help the former Taunton Town player gain match fitness after suffering an injury in pre-season.
His return follows the signing of Port Vale midfielder James Plant, who has been playing as a wing-back for the League Two side but is considered to be an effective winger and attacking midfielder, provides more attacking options.
Yeovil started the 0-0 draw at Sutton United on Tuesday night with just four outfield players on the substitutes’ bench with wideman Josh Sims missing with tendonitis in his knee and forward Harvey Greenslade missing with a shoulder injury.
Attacking options available for the Glovers would seem to be:
- Aaron Jarvis
- Frank Nouble
- Ciaran McGuckin – on loan from Rotherham United until January
- Jordan Young
- Sam Pearson
- James Plant
- Dylan Morgan
You could put Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, who has started as an attacking midfielder/number ten this season, on that list as well. However, with no goals in their last four matches, it is hard to argue Yeovil do not require something more up front.

Well, Cooper can’t say he doesn’t have attacking options now……
The manager must be getting really desperate to recall Dylan Morgan.
The first about-face he’s done since being manager here.
I wonder if we’ll ever find out what really happened to prompt him to dump him in the first place?
