On-loan Walsall striker Nathan Lowe, the English Football League's joint top scorer with 15 goals, has been recalled by parent club Stoke City following his prolific spell with the runaway League Two leaders.
Championship side Stoke City issued a statement late on Sunday saying they have "activated the recall clause in Nathan Lowe's loan agreement".
Walsall signed the England Under-19 international forward, who signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Stoke in 2023, on a scheduled season-long loan on 22 August.
The Potters academy graduate, 19, scored 17 goals and made six assists in 29 appearances to help Walsall shoot 12 points clear at the top of the table.
