Higginbotham back at Stoke

Stoke defender Danny Higginbotham has returned to the Britannia Stadium from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest.

Higginbotham was set to remain with Forest until the end of the season after joining the Championship club in January.
However, his stay at the City Ground has been ended early due to a minor injury - and with Forest having now secured their Championship survival.
Higginbotham, 33, made six appearances for Forest and scored a crucial goal in their 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Millwall last month.
