The teenager arrived at the Eco-Power Stadium in September after Doncaster agreed a deal for him to join on a season-long loan. However, his stint has been cut short after just eight appearances for Rovers.

His time at the club was disrupted by injury, as he suffered a severe break of his upper arm in October.

"The 19-year-old striker has returned to Bramall Lane after making eight appearances for Rovers and netting his first senior goal in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Everton under-21s.

“Unfortunately, Marsh suffered a severe break of the upper arm during the trip to Mansfield Town in the same competition, which ruled him out of action for several months.

“We thank Louie for his efforts during his time at the club and wish him all the very best for his future.”
