Defender Brendan Galloway has returned to parent club Everton after seeing his loan spell at West Brom ended early.

Under-21 international Galloway made just five appearances for Albion after joining last summer, and only once since September - the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Derby in January.

The Zimbabwe-born left-back, who started his career at MK Dons, made his debut at Northampton in the EFL Cup and played the consequent games against Middlesbrough and Bournemouth.

But his lack of football has seen Tony Pulis agree to cut his loan spell short.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman had initially tried to do so in January with a number of Championship clubs reportedly keen on offering him game time on a more regular basis.

Following Jonas Olsson out of the door in recent weeks, Galloway’s exit means Albion’s defence is thinner still; only Craig Dawson, Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans, Allan Nyom and Marc Wilson are the senior backs at the club.

Galloway played for David Unsworth’s Everton U23s last night and set up a goal, as they swept aside Tottenham 4-1 - they now need two points from their remaining two games to clinch the Premier League 2 title.
