Blues striker Tyreece Simpson won’t be returning to Swindon for a second loan spell during the second half of the season, Robins head coach Ben Garner has confirmed.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a very successful spell at the County Ground during the first half of the season, scoring 11 times.

He was recalled by Town just over a week ago with discussions regarding a new Blues contract ongoing. The frontman’s current terms are up in the summer but with the club having an option for a further season.

Garner said last week that he hoped Simpson would return if a new Town contract had been agreed, while Championship trio Cardiff, Hull and Barnsley were linked with the striker yesterday.

But this lunchtime he told BBC Wiltshire Sport that that will not now be happening.

Barring interest from elsewhere before today’s 11pm deadline, Simpson now looks set to remain at Portman Road for the rest of the season.

Bert added 11:55 - Jan 31 Does this mean that he is viewed as a starting possibility whist our strikers are struggling to find the net ?

algarvefan added 12:11 - Jan 31 What harm could it do to give this lad a try off the bench or maybe a start, with our regular strikers, not striking, it has to be worth a punt, he has the pace and physique to be a good striker in Div1.

Tractor_Boy_in_HK added 12:13 - Jan 31 No, it means he hasn't agreed to a new contract and will be in the wilderness or sold.

Europablue added 12:32 - Jan 31 Isn't the point of sending a player out on loan to get them playing in the first team. Simpson has kept his end of the deal and produced the goods, he's absolutely earned his chance from the bench at least to show what he can do considering that the forwards are not firing on all cylinders currently.

johnwarksshorts added 12:37 - Jan 31 Not sure it will happen but I'd like to see the lad given a go maybe sub against Gillingham or Doncaster see what he can do, big strong lad with good hold up play.

MickMillsTash added 13:25 - Jan 31 Tyreece seemed to be able to run the channel at Swindon - something we do not have or seem to want to play. But there was space in behind the full backs on Saturday and we could have done with his hustle

ThaiBlue added 13:58 - Jan 31 Get him started,he is scoring more than our forwards have done lately.

Barty added 14:19 - Jan 31 Have him on the bench on Saturday. Give Bonne a chance to get back amongst the goals against struggling Gillingham and if thats not happening - give give him a go.

Linkboy13 added 15:03 - Jan 31 Would give us added pace and power up front that has been missing. Bonne has definitely lost a yard of pace since the start of the season.
