Celtic fringe player Kundai Benyu has returned to Glasgow after his loan deal to Helsingborgs in Sweden was axed.

The Zimbabwe international, 21, made his debut back in April and was a regular feature under Henrik Larsson.

However, since Larsson departed, Benyu is yet to play under new manager Olof Mellberg, leading to his deal being ripped up three months early.

Benyu has made ten appearances for Helsingborgs this season, scoring just once.

And he took to social media earlier this evening to confirm his time in the Allsvenskan was over.

Writing on Instagram he said: "Thank you for everything to everyone at HIF. 

"Unfortunately, the last couple of months of my loan didn’t work out as I hoped.. 

"Maybe under different circumstances they would have... Good luck in the future".

Benyu is unlikely to play much this season for Celtic with the likes of Ryan Christie and Tom Rogic ahead of him in the pecking order.

Younger stars like Mikey Johnston also remain out in front.

The playmaker signed for the Hoops on a four-year deal back in 2017 under Brendan Rodgers.
