Bristol City appear unlikely to recall Ryley Towler from his loan spell at AFC Wimbledon with technical director Brian Tinnion admitting it could prove counter-productive to his development unless he’s going to command a first-team place under Nigel Pearson.
Towler has enjoyed an outstanding spell at Plough Lane, making 19 appearances in League Two and cup competitions and fully justifying City’s decision to loan him out.
Such has been the 20-year-old’s performance levels, and Pearson’s need for another centre-back in January, it’s given rise to the theory that the Bristolian could provide a cost-free transfer solution to bolster squad options.
