George Allen made 45 appearances for the Conference South club last season

George Allen is unlikely to return on loan to Bishop’s Stortford.

That is the view of Stortford boss Rod Stringer who would like to see the defender back at the club after a successful spell last season, but feels a deal is unlikely.

Speaking to the Stortford club website, Stringer said: “One minute he’s coming, and the next minute they want him to play at a higher level. I understand that but we can’t wait forever.

“It’s a shame as I’d like him back and I thought what we did last season helped George as a player, but I need to get someone in as soon as possible.”
