"I'm really looking forward to working with Brodie. As Mark has said, he has done well during his time in Scotland, and now he returns to our club to challenge for a position in the starting lineup," said manager Darren Moore.

Sporting director Mark Cartwright added: "We've watched Brodie closely during the first half of the season and his loan has achieved everything we wanted it to.
