Tuesday 31 January 2017 18:34, UK
Nicky Ajose has rejoined Swindon Town on loan until the end of the season from fellow Sky Bet League One side Charlton Athletic., subject to EFL approval.
The 24-year-old left Swindon for Charlton last summer and has scored seven goals in 28 appearances for the Addicks this season.
His last appearance came against Bristol Rovers on January 2 and he now returns to the club where he netted 24 times in League One last term.
Charlton manager Karl Robinson said: "It's important at this stage of his career for Nicky to be playing regularly and we are not able to guarantee that here at the moment.
"Hopefully he'll enjoy being back in familiar surroundings, score some goals for Swindon and we'll then see where we are in the summer.
"In the meantime we have plenty of striking options with Josh Magennis back soon, Lee Novak fully fit and Tony Watt who has been like a new signing for us. We're hopeful to get one more striker in before the window closes which will give me plenty of quality options up front."
Swindon currently sit 20th in League One and Ajose could make his third debut for the Robins against Oxford United on Sunday.
The League One club have also brought in midfielder Sean Murray on a free transfer from Premier League outfit Watford.
