SAINTS defender Ryan Dickson has been recalled from his loan spell at Yeovil Town.

The left back returns to St Mary's from Huish Park with immediate effect.

A statement from Yeovil said: "His loan deal has ended due to the player wanting to remain at one club for the rest of the season. However, under loan rules, the maximum duration that the Glovers could keep Ryan for was a further 60 days."

Dickson joined Yeovil on an initial one-month deal towards the start of January. He made five appearances for the League One side, scoring once.
