CONNOR Woods’ highly productive spell at Warrington Town is over.

This morning, it has been confirmed that National League North side Southport have exercised their option to recall the forward from his loan spell at Cantilever Park.

The deal to keep the 24-year-old as part of Mark Beesley’s squad, which was extended into a second month, was due to expire following Saturday’s game against Stalybridge Celtic.

Woods has been a revelation since joining Town at the start of October and leaves having netted six times in 12 appearances.

His departure leaves Town short of options in attack, with Josh Amis suspended for the next two matches following his sending-off during last week’s FA Trophy loss to Guiseley.

Jordan Buckley is still making his way back to fitness after suffering ankle ligament damage and while it is thought he may be able to return to full training this week, he has not played since the end of August.
