Winger Scott Banks has moved to Barnsley on loan for the remainder of the season from German side St Pauli.
Banks, 24, had joined Blackpool on a season-long loan in September and scored five goals in 20 games for the Seasiders, but the Scot has now headed to Oakwell after he was recalled by his parent club.
He moved to Germany in 2023 from Crystal Palace, first on loan and then on a permanent deal, and made 12 substitute appearances in the Bundesliga last season for the Hamburg club.
"Scott is a player we've admired for a long time," Barnsley head coach Conor Hourihane told the club's website, external.
"He brings real quality in the final third but also the versatility and work ethic that fit perfectly with how we want to play."
