1 Michael Drennan

Portsmouth have decided against extending the loan of Aston Villa striker Michael Drennan after his goalless spell at Fratton Park.

The 20-year-old failed to find the net in four appearances for the South Coast side this season and will now return to Villa’s development side.

Pompey had brought Drennan in after a successful loan stint last term, when he impressed with three goals in 10 outings.

But, after he failed to recreate that form this season, manager Andy Awford decided against keeping him beyond his initial spell.
