West Brom recall loan star after impressive spell

The 21-year-old centre-back has returned to The Hawthorns after an impressive first half of the season with the Chairboys, who are currently top of the League One table.

He will now get his chance to impress in the Championship for a Baggies team left short on numbers at the back.

Semi Ajayi is still around two months away from being fit again having undergone surgery on a hamstring injury sustained in October, while loanee Paddy McNair has returned to parent club San Diego, having made just three starts in an injury-hit spell.

Taylor signed a new four-year deal at The Hawthorns in the summer and has made 10 senior appearances for the club. 

Baggies sporting Director Andrew Nestor said: "We are pleased to have Caleb return to us after such a rewarding spell at Wycombe, where he made a great contribution to their ascent to the top of League One. 

“He is a promising young talent, which was recognised in the summer with a new long-term deal, and we are happy to have him back now to contribute for us in the second half of our season."

Taylor made the last of 21 appearances for Wycombe in their 2-1 New Year’s Day win over Exeter. Albion are next in action when they visit Swansea on Saturday.

Wycombe boss Matt Bloomfield said: "Caleb has been an absolutely fantastic player for us, the time he has been here.

"A genuine thank you to Ian Pearce and West Brom for allowing us to have him. We will see what the future holds."
