Scully returns after Colchester end loan

Anthony Scully has returned to Portsmouth after Colchester opted to end his loan spell.

The forward moved to the League Two side on deadline day in August to play under former Blues boss Danny Cowley.

He struck once in nine appearances before struggling with injury, returning to Portsmouth to have a plate removed from his ankle injury in November.

Scully is currently facing more time on the sidelines with a March return date circled for a possible return to full fitness.

Colchester boss Danny Cowley said that Scully could return for another spell at the Essex club before the end of the season.
