Sandat re-joined the club on loan on 23 December 2023.

Having progressed right the way through the club's academy, he made a big impact for the first team in the 2022/23 season at the age of just 17.

Sandat only scored one goal that season but it was a special one, just four minutes into his first start for the club against Gateshead, a strike which turned out to be the winner.

In the summer of 2023, he signed for Championship club Hull City, but returned to Roots Hall on a temporary basis six months later.

Upon the initial loan's conclusion, it was extended until the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
