Carl Rushworth has been recalled from his loan spell at Hull City.
The former England under-21 goalkeeper will return to the men’s first team squad, and is not expected to go back out on loan this month.
Technical director David Weir explained, “We have recalled Carl, with Jason Steele due to undergo surgery on a problem which will sideline him for a period.
“Alongside Killian Cahill, Carl will provide goalkeeping competition for Bart Verbruggen for the period ahead.”
Rushworth, 23, had a frustrating time with injuries at Hull, but is fully recovered and recently returned to first-team action in the Championship, playing the last two league matches.
