Doncaster Rovers end loan spell of Newcastle United winger

Published 30th Dec 2021, 14:00 BST

Rodrigo Vilca’s loan spell with Doncaster Rovers has come to an end.

The Peruvian winger has returned to parent club Newcastle United after making 13 appearances for Rovers, in which he scored twice, after joining on transfer deadline day.

In a message on Instagram, Vilca wrote: “Thank you for all the support you have shown me since the day I arrived. I have the best memories. I wish you the best for the rest of the season.”

Vilca’s last game for Rovers came in the goalless draw with Lincoln City in November, during which he suffered a hamstring injury.
