Aston Villa have recalled young front man Lewis Dobbin from his season-long loan at West Midlands neighbours West Bromwich Albion.
The 21-year-old, who joined Villa from Everton for a reported £10m in the summer, was sent out on loan to the Championship club in early August but made only one league start for Albion, the 1-1 draw against Preston in November, as well as 16 substitute appearances.
But he was not in managerless Albion's matchday squad for the New Year's Day 3-1 home win over North End - and joint-caretaker boss Chris Brunt confirmed that the two clubs have come to an agreement to terminate the loan.
