Yeovil Town have announced the departure of goalkeeper Ollie Wright after his season-long loan from Premier League Southampton was cut short.
The 22-year-old joined back in July and has been the Glovers’ first choice number one since his arrival, but has returned to his parent to club ahead of schedule.
On Monday evening, a club statement said: “We can confirm Ollie Wright has returned to Southampton after being recalled from his loan spell.”
The former Worthing stopper has been an ever-present for the Glovers this season.
He has kept nine clean sheets in his 29 league appearances in all competitions, including making made some vital saves against Boston, Gateshead and plenty others… and nearly, got on the end of a last gasp corner or two.
With only goalkeeping coach Matt Gould available as cover, one assumes we can see another gloveman heading in to Huish Park at some point before this weekend’s trip to Dagenham & Redbridge.
Thanks for your efforts, Ollie.
In the words of Mr Sturrock, We’re fucked .
Or perhaps there is a keeper just waiting to be announced?
Ollie Wright has gone out on loan to Solihull Moors for the rest of the season.
