Former Welsh Premier League forward Christian Doidge has returned to League Two side Forest Green Rovers from Bolton Wanderers.
The 26-year-old had been on loan at the Championship side since August and had a £1m move agreed with the Gloucestershire side.
Parent club Forest Green Rovers have recalled the former Old Gold striker from his loan at the Macron Stadium.
He missed Bolton Wanderers’ FA Cup victory over League One side Walsall on Saturday evening due to an embargo according to the Daily Mail, the Welshman was unable to play, along with Remi Matthews.
Forest Green Rovers chairman Dale Vince confirmed the club would be recalling Doidge from his loan at Bolton on Facebook:
From Monday morning, Christian Doidge is back with FGR. “We’ve taken the decision to recall him after his loan agreement expired last week.”
During his time with the Trotters, he made 17 Championship appearances, scoring once.
He returns to The New Lawn where he spent a total of three years, with 20 goals scored in 39 games. Doidge scored in Forest Green’s play-off final victory over Tranmere Rovers.
Rovers currently occupy one of the play-off spots in League Two and are just three points off an automatic spot with two games in hand over Bury.
Doidge had previously playing spells with Cwmbran Celtic, Croesyceiliog, Barry Town United and Carmarthen Town, before moving to Football League side Dagenham & Redbridge.

As a life long Bolton fan I can only say “sorry” to Christian. It is disgusting the way you and FGR have been treated by the appalling behaviour of our chairman. We, the Wanderers fans really do feel for you, you kept your side of the bargain. We, too, were led to believe funds were in place for transfers and players wages this season but us and the club have been totally let down by this individual, he has brought us to our knees. All I can do is wish Christian all the best and hope that another club – better than ours- can come along and fulfill your dreams and that our beloved club can get its credibility back in the not too distant future.
