CHORLEY FC can confirm that Kristi Montgomery has been recalled from his loan spell with the Magpies and will return to his parent club, Blackburn Rovers.
20-year old central midfielder, Kristi, initially signed for Andy Preece's side in February; making his debut against South Shields before an injury in that game hampered him for game time.
Having said that, Kristi's loan was extended after an initial month through to the end of the season and the Scotsman went on to make seven appearances, scoring once - a goal of the season contender against Spennymoor Town last weekend.
Andy Preece had the following to say following Kristi's recall.
"Kristi has been in great form for us so doesn't surprise me that he's been recalled.
Topping it off with a fantastic strike on Saturday.
I can't speak highly enough of him, not just as a footballer but as a character. I think this could just be a start for Kristi.
A massive thank you to Blackburn Rovers for allowing him to come to us.
Our record with loan players continues to be impressive. Credit to our recruitment team and all the staff involved.
People will think it's another blow on back of Dubem Eze being recalled. but, for us it's what we've faced from day one of the season and look where find ourselves.
I couldn't be more proud of the lads."
Thank you again to Kristi for his contributions in black and white, and we wish him all the best for the future!
