Defender Brendan Galloway returns to Everton after West Brom loan spell

Defender Brendan Galloway has returned to Everton after his loan spell at West Bromwich Albion was cut short.

The Baggies signed the 21-year-old on a season-long deal in August, and the player was initially given a chance in the first team by Tony Pulis.

However, he has featured just once since September - with that appearance coming in the FA Cup - and his period in the West Midlands has now come to an end after just five matches.

Everton are unable to use Galloway in the Premier League for the remainder of the campaign, but he is allowed to feature in second-string fixtures for the Toffees.

Last season, he made a total of 19 appearances for Everton but after his arrival at the club, Ronald Koeman made the decision to allow him to leave Goodison Park.
