Gus Poyet has trimmed his Albion squad by sending loan pair Aaron Davies and Matt Thornhill back to Nottingham Forest.

Winger Davies and midfielder Thornhill were signed by previous manager Russell Slade.

Davies made his eighth and final start for the Seagulls in Slade's farewell game at home to Hartlepool at the end of October.

Thornhill only started five matches, the last of them at Tranmere on October 17, where he was substituted at half-time.
