GOALKEEPER Harrison Sharp has been recalled from his loan spell at Dunfermline by parent club Dundee.

Press Sport reported yesterday (Wednesday) that the 22-year-old, who arrived at KDM Group East End Park in August, following an injury to first-choice number one Deniz Mehmet, would recalled by the Dark Blues, which has now been confirmed by both clubs.

The Pars this morning said: "Goalkeeper Harry Sharp has returned to Dundee FC following his loan spell.

"Everyone at KDM Group East End Park wishes Harry all the best and thanks him for his efforts during his time at #DAFC".

Dundee added: "Harry Sharp and Jack Wilkie have returned to Dundee FC following their spells out on loan.

"Both players are now back with Dundee Football Club and are training with the rest of the first-team squad."

However, Ben Summers and Owen Moffat, who both completed season-long loan moves from Celtic and Blackpool respectively before the summer transfer window closed, are expected to remain with the Pars until the end of the campaign.

Ahead of the team's opening Championship match of the season, James McPake returned to his former club to secure the loan signature of Sharp until January after Mehmet suffered an ankle injury in training, keeping him out of action until October.

Sharp went on to play in the first seven Championship matches of the season, helping Dunfermline to three wins and two draws, whilst recording one shut-out in the process.

He also made an appearance from the bench in a home defeat to Dundee United in November, when Mehmet was taken off with a knock, and that looks likely to be his final game for the Pars, with confirmation of his recall anticipated.

Meanwhile, McPake said he would wait for the verdict of a concussion specialist on whether Sam Fisher will be able to resume full training, and return to his match day squad.

The 22-year-old centre back missed Dunfermline's last game - at this weekend's opponents, Queen's Park - earlier this month after going off against Raith Rovers in the January 2 Fife derby.

He suffered a broken nose and suffered a second concussion in little more than two weeks, having been injured against Partick Thistle on December 16, and was due to see a specialist at Hampden.

Asked an update by Press Sport earlier this week, McPake added: "He was in working, doing a bit on Tuesday, and he's feeling better.

"He's been doing non-contact stuff, which he would always have done anyway, but until we get the view from the specialist, we'll be dictated by that. We'll see; it might be positive in the fact he can start returning to training, or it might be ease off.

"I'd be ignorant if I was trying to predict what he's going to say because it's not something that I've had to deal with before."

Lewis McCann and Ewan Otoo were both set to return for the postponed match against Airdrie, and should be available for Saturday's clash with the Spiders.
