Ipswich Town manager Roy Keane has admitted he could recall defender Tommy Smith from his loan spell at League One side Brentford.

The 19-year-old has been in fine form for the Griffin Park outfit and after extending his stay for another three-months, Keane now has a 24-hour recall clause if he requires his services.

Speaking to reporters, he said: "Tommy is playing games week in, week out and that is what going out on loan is all about.

"Sometimes a manager can be selfish and hold on to all his players but I like my players playing football.

"We're happy for him to stay at Brentford but it wouldn't surprise me if he was back here soon, maybe over the next few weeks. We'll see what happens."
