    This season we also have Jamie Walker and Andy Cook in their second spells -- after previous loans. Two successes.

    No one's yet been back for a fourth time, at least as a player only...

    For 3 spells as a player, I have:

    B. Clarke, G. Handley, N. Law, D. Mottley-Henry, A. Rosenthal, L. Sinnott

    As for 2 spells, I come up with 45* players. A few recent and a pair of not-so-recent notables not yet mentioned:

    A. Davies, Jock Ewart, A. Gilliver, T. McMahon, E. Nixon, P. O'Connor, S. Warnock

    RCB

    * -- I might have missed some loans that became permanent, especially if both moves came in the same season

    ETA: make that 46* players -- Youds now included

    Joe Cooke - don't even think about writing him off unless you want your house burning down.

    Rob Steiner. Fantastic on his initial loan spell but a bit of a letdown when he returned from what I remember

    Just knocked off the list quickly. Same with Duke and Gilliead. As I said I am sure there may well be others.
    My point is that a lot of returning players, do not work out, or are mediocre at best.

    Miller and Dolan are probably good comparisons as not only did they sign young in the first place, they returned shortly afterwards.

    Tyreik wouldn't be like the guys we had young but then returned many years later.

    I might be misremembering, but I think Ty did better in his spell than either Dolan or Miller, who are both bang average.

    I don't mind either way with Tyreik. I'd be happy if he returned, but I'd also be happy to look elsewhere - which seems to be much more likely.

    Cheers! Youds is one of those loans that became permanent in the same season that I missed!

    A lot of the players I listed in the original post, had either come to us when they were young or with few appearances at their existing/previous club.
    Many of the names subsequently identified, were established players.
    A slight difference.
    Personally I am quite happy to see fresh talent, rather than recycling.
