The Sheffield Wednesday changing room is one body lighter after confirmation that young Nottingham Forest loanee Alex Mighten would return to his parent club.

The Star revealed on Tuesday morning that Mighten was set to leave the Owls having made only nine League One appearances this season.

In what was described as a season-long loan, it was believed that both clubs had the option of triggering a clause that would see the England youth international’s time at S6 come to an end.
