Nicky Ajose has returned to Charlton.

The striker, 26, has been left out of several Bury matchday squads under bosses Lee Clark and Chris Lucketti.

He has scored four goals in 14 appearances during his loan spell.

Ajose arrives back at the Valley with the club’s only senior striker Josh Magennis struggling for form. The Northern Ireland international hasn't found the net in 13 games.

At the start of the week, News Shopper revealed that Ajose, who joined the Addicks for big money in 2016, wanted a return to SE7.

But it remains to be seen if Charlton manager Karl Robinson will use him in his depleted squad.
