Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed the re-signing of centre back Caleb Taylor on loan from West Bromwich Albion.

The defender played 20 times for the Chairboys between September and New Year’s Day, before he was recalled by the Baggies earlier this month.

However, after only playing once for his parent club since returning to the Midlands, he has since returned to South Buckinghamshire for the remainder of the season.

Chief Football Officer Dan Rice commented: “Caleb was an important part of the team throughout the first half of the season and we’re really pleased to be able to bring him back to strengthen our options in defence.

“He enjoyed his time with us and it’s great for him to be able to rejoin the squad and be part of our efforts to build on the progress we’ve made this season by continuing to push for promotion.

“We remain fully committed to keeping this squad as it can be and Caleb’s return is another positive step forward for us as we approach the end of the transfer window.”

Taylor is now the club's eighth new face this month, following the arrivals of Anders Hagelskjær, Magnus Westergaard, Alex Lowry, James Berry, Sonny Bradley, Jonny Pettitt and Ryan Cole.

He could be in line to make his second debut for the Chairboys this weekend, when Sam Grace's side face Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium.

Wycombe sit second on 58 points, six points clear of the third-place Wrexham.
