Albion have recalled striker Shamir Fenelon from his loan spell at Rochdale.
Fenelon joined Dale on a season-long loan back in August but has been restricted to just one start and four substitute appearances for the League One outfit.
The 20-year-old scored four times for the Seagulls in pre-season and went on to feature in the opening three games of the campaign before his loan move to Rochdale.
David Burke, Albion’s head of football operations, said: “Due to a lack of playing opportunities we have decided that it is in the best interest of Shamir’s progression to come back to Brighton.
“On the back of a good pre-season we had a number of league clubs enquire about Sham, but unfortunately the move to Rochdale hasn’t proven as fruitful as we would have wanted.
“This is not down to Shamir, he has merely fallen victim to a side that are not only winning games and on good form, but also scoring a lot of goals, so it is hard to break into a successful team.
“But we will get him back on the training pitch here, get him fit again and we will see what the next move is - whether it is staying at the club or another loan move.”
