Striker George Barker is to return to Brighton & Hove Albion after his loan spell with Barnet came to an end.

The 21-year-old, who was the top scorer in the Seagulls' development squad this season but has yet to play for the first team, moved to Underhill in November. But he has made just one appearance for the Bees, in the 1-1 draw with AFC Wimbledon on December 8. Barker was an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-0 win over Bradford, after which head coach Edgar Davids revealed his loan deal would not be extended.
