AFC Telford United 'reluctantly' accept recall of loan striker Montel Gibson
AFC Telford United have 'reluctantly' let loan striker Montel Gibson return to parent club Ilkeston Town - due to his travel time and work schedule.
The Bucks signed the striker, who previously had a prolific goal record at Halesowen Town and Stourbridge, last month on a loan deal.
However, just over two and a half weeks since he arrived - he is now returning to his parent club.
Gibson, 24, formerly of Grimsby Town and Notts County, is returning to his club because his work schedule and travel time has meant he is unable to meet his training requirements at the Bucks.
In a statement, the club said: "AFC Telford United can confirm we have reluctantly accepted the recall of Montel Gibson from Ilkeston Town.
"Due to Montel’s work schedule and required travel time, he is unable to meet his training commitments with the Bucks.
"We respect Montel’s honesty, and we wish him all the best for the rest of the season at Ilkeston Town.
"We would like to place on record our thanks to Ilkeston Town for their cooperation."
It will come as a blow to new boss Kevin Wilkin - with the Bucks 'front line lacking goals this season with main striker Jason Oswell out with an injury.
