George O'Callaghan has confirmed he will not be returning to Albion.

The Irish midfielder, whose loan expired after yesterday's 2-1 defeat at Yeovil, wants to try his luck back at Ipswich Town.

O'Callaghan missed the Yeovil game.

Albion boss Dean Wilkins was unwilling to discuss contract matters after the game at Huish Park.

O'Callaghan, though, said: "I enjoyed playing regularly at Brighton but I spoke with the gaffer and decided it is right to try again at Ipswich and try to get first team action.

"They are a good bunch of lads at Brighton and I enjoyed playing with them so I hope things work out for them."

Matt Richards, who was also on loan at Albion recently, was an unused sub for Ipswich when they lost 2-1 at Coventry in the Championship yesterday.
