Cheery Yannick Bolasie, who has made nearly 50 appearances for Barnet on loan since Ian Hendon signed him a year ago this month, is returning to Plymouth Argyle this weekend.

The 20-year-old winger's second loan period with the Bees finishes tomorrow and, with Saturday's game at Shrewsbury Town called off because of the adverse weather, Yannick said his goodbyes to his team-mates after training at The Hive today.

Yannick, a former Rushden & Diamonds trainee, has never played for Argyle, who he joined after being with Maltese Premier League side Floriana. He had played seven games on loan for original club Rushden & Diamonds when Ian Hendon invited him for a trial with Barnet and signed him.

Bolasie is a cousin of former Colchester United, Newcastle United and Portsmouth midfielder Lomano LuaLua and a relative of former Barnet striker Tresor Kandol. He has been a popular figure with supporters and team-mates in a year at Underhill in which he made 37 starts for the Bees and 11 substitute appearances. He scored five goals.
