Swansea winger Jefferson Montero has returned to Ecuador on a ‘sub-loan’ with former club Emelec for the rest of the season.
The 28-year-old joined La Liga side Getafe on a scheduled season-long loan in September but has subsequently made the move back to his homeland.
"Swansea City winger Jefferson Montero has returned to Ecuador after joining his former club Emelec on a sub-loan for the rest of the season, subject to international clearance," Swansea said on their official website.
"He remains on Getafe's books for the rest of the season, but he has now been loaned to Emelec from the La Liga club as the transfer window is open in Ecuador."
Montero arrived at the Liberty Stadium for an undisclosed fee from Mexican side Monarcas Morelia following his impressive appearances for Ecuador in the 2014 World Cup finals.
He signed a four-year deal with the Swans but scored just two goals in 72 appearances before switching to Getafe, where he has come on as a substitute on four occasions.
