Wolves winger Adam Hammill makes Middlesbrough loan move

Wolves winger Adam Hammill today completed a loan move to Middlesbrough until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, who has been capped once for England at Under-21 level, joined the Premier League club from Barnsley in January last year but has managed to accumulate just three league starts.

Boro boss Tony Mowbray said: "Adam is capable of bringing a different ingredient to the squad and giving us something we've missed for a bit.

"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 began his career with home-town club Liverpool but failed to make a first-team appearance before he moved to the Tykes, where he scored 13 goals in 78 league games.

Wolves have a recall clause in place on the deal after the first 28 days.

Middlesbrough currently sit eighth in the Championship and will have the option to extend the loan should they make the play-offs.

Hamill, who was a member of the Liverpool team that won the 2006 FA Youth Cup, could make his debut for Mowbray's men in their league clash at Portsmouth on Saturday.
