EASTLEIGH have confirmed that Jesurun Uchegbulam has returned to parent club Oldham Athletic after being recalled from his loan spell with the Spitfires.

The 24 year old forward arrived in January to add much needed depth to Kelvin Davis' play-off hopefuls.

Uchegbulam appeared seven times in the National League during his time in SO50, failing to score in any of those appearances.

He did, however, play a role in helping Eastleigh score three victories and one draw and set up a goal in a 2-0 win over local rivals Aldershot last month.

A club statement added: "We would like to thank Jesurun for his efforts and wish him all the best in the future."

Uchegbulam's departure leaves Eastleigh light up front again following Scott Quigley's injury and continued recovery.

He rejoins an Oldham side also vying for a spot in the play-offs. Micky Mellon's side are struggling for form currently.

They have won just three of their 14 games since the turn of the year and now sit nine points ahead of the Spitfires.
