Luton Town winger and ex-Wycombe Wanderers fan favourite Fred Onyedinma will not be re-joining the club this January transfer window.
The 27-year-old Nigerian had been on loan at Championship side Rotherham United until the start of this month, when his deal was mutually terminated.
Some Chairboys fans had been hopeful that a potential fourth spell at Adams Park could occur this month following his departure from the Yorkshire-based team, but this will not be the case.

Millers manager Leam Richardson explained to the Rotherham Advertiser: “He’s just been unfortunate with injuries.
“He picked up another injury which will see him out for some weeks.
“After discussions with the player himself - which is the most important thing - and the club, it was decided that it was the best thing all around that we freed that loan space up to hopefully add to the squad where people can help us in the here and now rather than in seven or eight weeks.”
