SWINDON Town have confirmed Scott Twine has officially been recalled from his loan at Newport County.
Twine was set to spend the full season on loan in South Wales, but after consistently performing at high standards for the Exiles - combined with Town's struggle to remain in League One - the decision was made to bring Twine back to the County Ground early.
The 21-year-old may still return to Rodney Parade this month, however, after news broke this morning that Newport had reportedly sent a bid to Swindon in the hopes they could lure Twine back to South Wales on a permanent deal.
In a statement on Swindon Town's website, the club said: "Swindon Town have exercised the option to re-call Scott Twine from Newport County.
"Twine signed on loan to the Exiles at the beginning of September with an option for the club to re-call in this transfer window.
"Scott has impressed in League Two, scoring seven goals in all competitions and also winning League Two Goal of the Month in October for his strike against Cambridge.
"We would like to thank Newport County for allowing Scott to gain the first-team experience that he has and the Club wish them the best for the remainder of the season.
"We are delighted that Scott has returned to the County Ground and look forward to his contribution to the squad going forward."
