West Ham loanee Sears recalled from Scunthorpe

West Ham have recalled 21-year-old striker Freddie Sears from his loan spell at Championship side Scunthorpe, reports BBC Sport. The England Under-21 player made nine appearances without scoring during a two-month spell at Glanford Park.

Sears spent six months on loan at Crystal Palace in 2009, and three months on loan at Coventry at the start of 2010.

He signed a five-year contract in November 2008 when Gianfranco Zola was the manager with the Hammers.
