Speaking to the Mansfield CHAD, Shirtliff said "At this moment it doesn't look as if he will be allowed to come back for a further loan unless City have a drastic change of heart,"
"I spoke to them on Monday and they were undecided about it. But we have heard nothing since.
"Jonathan has done well and we'd like to keep him here.
"But Giles Coke and Stephen Dawson are playing well at the moment and we will just soldier on and see what develops.
"There are other players I am looking at. But you can't just magic players out of the air. They have to fit in with our wage structure and the way we play."
