The Bishop Auckland-born defender joined the Heed in August, and made 18 appearances in all competitions.

However, having been a regular under previous boss Neil Aspin, Williams has featured less under new manager Steve Watson.

On Wednesday afternoon, Gateshead tweeted: "Callum Williams and Robbie Tinkler have returned to their parent clubs following the end of their loan spells at the International Stadium. "We'd like to thank both of them for their services to the club and wish them the very best for the future."
