BORO have swooped to sign former England U21 international midfielder Adam Hammill on loan from Wolves for the remainder of the season.
The 24-year-old started his career with hometown Liverpool without making a first team appearance.
He enjoyed loan spells with Dunfermline, Southampton, Blackpool and Barnsley before joining the Tykes permanently in 2009/10, scoring 13 goals in 78 league appearances for the South Yorkshire club.
After hitting eight goals in the first half of the 2010-11 campaign he moved to Molineux for an undisclosed fee in January 2011, signing a three-and-a-half year contract.
He has so far made 19 appearances for Wolves but only three league starts.
"Adam is capable of bringing a different ingredient to the squad and giving us something we've missed for a bit," said manager Tony Mowbray.
"He also has a bit of individuality, he's versatile enough to play in any midfield position and he creates extra competition within the squad."
Hammill was a member of the Liverpool team that won the 2006 FA Youth Cup after defeating Manchester City in the final.
Although he has played for England at U19 level and once for the U21s, he also qualifies to play for the Republic of Ireland.
