Exeter City defender Jimmy Oates has been recalled from his loan spell with Hereford with immediate effect.
The right back has played six times for the Grecians this season after departing the Bulls for a move to St James Park last summer.
After featuring against the likes of Fulham, Yeovil Town and Blackpool he then returned to Hereford on loan in January but will now be added to Matt Taylorβs defensive options for the rest of the season.
