We can confirm that striker Aribim Pepple has returned to parent club Luton Town from his loan spell with immediate effect.

The 20-year-old moved to Blundell Park in August, soon after joining Luton from Canadian Premier League side Cavalry FC.

The Kettering-born forward made 15 appearances in all competitions in gaining his first experience of English football during his spell with the Mariners.

On Pepple’s departure, Manager Paul Hurst said: “Bim hasn’t had quite as many chances as he would have wished but I’d like to thank him for his time and his efforts with us.

“You have to remember that it’s a big move, coming over from Canada to Luton and then he very quickly joined us on loan. He’s a young player that hopefully we’ve helped develop to a degree and there’s still a lot more development to come for him.

“He was a popular lad around the Club, a nice person, and we wish him well.”

We would like to like thank Bim for his efforts during his time at Blundell Park and we wish him well for the future.
