Just days after his season-long loan was cut short some five-months early, Huddersfield Town forward Kieran Phillips has already found a new club.
Phillips, who recently penned a new deal with the Terriers, saw his stay at the Banks's brought to a premature end late last week but has already gone back out on loan with Walsall's League Two rivals Exeter City agreeing terms on a deal until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old made thirty-three first-team appearances and scored five during his time in WS1, but was usually deployed out on the wing, despite his preferred position being as a striker, something which ultimately resulted in his return to his parent club.
Posted on their official website, Grecians boss Matt Taylor welcomed the deal, and insisted Phillips will be deployed up front, he said; "We needed another attacking body.
"A centre forward we liked at the start of the season. He’s someone we’ve been watching for a period of time now.
"After he was recalled by Huddersfield, we felt now was the right time to bring him in at this level and play him in his preferred position.
"He’s got experience at this level and will understand what’s needed in training, which means he’s fit enough and robust enough to come straight into the team."
