Bobby Thomas' loan stint with Bristol Rovers has been terminated with immediate effect and the Burnley defender has signed on loan for League One rivals Barnsley.
The centre-back started in all but one of Rovers' 20 League One games after he joined on transfer deadline day in September, but his stay with the Gas has come to an abrupt end, joining the Tykes on a deal until the end of the season.
Rovers manager Joey Barton has become increasingly frustrated with his team's defensive record in recent weeks and in Thursday's press conference ahead of Saturday's game at Accrington Stanley, he said he was prepared to be ruthless with his resources in the remainder of the transfer window.
