It looked an exciting signing and even then manager Owen Coyle, just ahead of the season, believed he would have a big impact and suggested he'd be the most fouled player in the Premier League.
That's not worked out and he made just seven short substitute appearances whilst starting the two Carling Cup ties at Hartlepool and Barnsley, playing particularly well in the second of those games.
Recently new boss Brian Laws revealed that he was not part of the first team plans and there were suggestions he might go to another English club for the rest of the season. That's not happened for the youngster and today the news has been confirmed that he is returning to his parent club Independiente del Valle.
