The former Watford striker was originally signed as cover for Neil Harris, Gary Alexander and Tresor Kandol, who were all absent at the time through injury or suspension, but a red card on his goal-scoring debut restricted his appearances and with Gifton Noel-Williams now in reserve the club decided it was best if Easter moved on.
"Jermaine's sending-off at Swindon meant that he was suspended for three weeks," explained Kenny Jackett. "Byt the time he was available again we had our regular strikers back."
