Ipswich forward Tommy Hughes has returned to Portman Road following a loan spell at Plainmoor.

Hughes returns to his parent club after making two appearances in a yellow shirt, after joining The Gulls last month.

“Originally it was an agreement between us and Ipswich that it was a six month deal, with a call-back after 28 days,” confirmed Gulls boss Gary Johnson.

“We agreed with Ipswich that we would discuss if Tommy had had enough games. They felt – and we felt – it was good experience for him anyway to come and be with the first team, but he expressed that he wanted to play more first team football, so in discussions with us and Ipswich, it was better that he went back, because he needs to play and he can still play for their Under-23s.

“We wish him well, and thank him for his short stay here.”
