Hide AdNew assistant boss Joe Dunne said: “Unfortunately, Conor has been recalled by Leeds which is disappointing.
“It's a shame for us not really having had a chance to work with him as a staff and management.
“He was injured when we came here, but we've lost him now so we move on.
“He was progressing well and, having watched a lot of footage of his games, there was a player in there that we felt was ideal for us to coach. But we now have to focus on what we have in the building.”
