Andy Holt has returned to the Tigers a month early after playing 8 games for the tykes. The successful debut of youngster Robbie Williams in the Reds 2-1 victory over Brentford and the clubs financial situation were possible factors in the decision.
Meanwhile, Barnsley right back Carl Regan will stay at Hull for a third month. He has played every game since making the loan switch, and is expected to complete his loan spell with Mike Edwards out injured.
