Town have confirmed that keeper Stephen Henderson has returned on loan from West Ham for the rest of the season, as TWTD reported earlier. The Irishman’s move is the Blues’ final addition of the January transfer window.
The Blues needed to complete the switch by this evening’s 11pm deadline as players are unable to join the same club on an emergency loan basis twice in the same season.
Henderson, who made 16 appearances for the Blues during his first spell between October and the beginning of this month, will be back training at Playford Road in the morning.
West Ham have confirmed that the deal is subject to a 24-hour recall, as was the case with Henderson's previous loan.
Earlier today, the Irishman had appeared on his way to Blackburn as part of a swap deal which would see former England keeper Paul Robinson move to Upton Park, However, Rovers were unable to settle Robinson's contract and the deal broke down.
