MIDDLESBROUGH have signed Wolves winger Adam Hammill on loan until the end of the season.
Hammill, 24, has been at Molineux since arriving from Barnsley last summer and Tony Mowbray has moved to add the winger to his ranks.
The former Liverpool youngster will now be in the frame to face Portsmouth on Saturday, with Boro keen to get back to winning ways after last Saturday's defeat to Reading.
The arrival of Hammill is unlikely to be the last new face in the Middlesbrough squad this season.
Mowbray is still looking at other targets, with Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey among those still in his sights.
Hammill, born in Liverpool, was part of the Reds youth team that won the FA Youth Cup by defeating Manchester City in 2006.
Wolves were asked to pay £250,000 by a tribunal for him last summer after he decided to leave Barnsley, where he had been since Spring 2009, at the end of his contract.
