Paul Hartley told the club’s official website: “We are really pleased to bring Ryan back for the next six months. He has developed really well during his time with Swansea and will provide us with a different option in midfield.

“He joined in with the group for the first time this morning and you can see that it will be a natural transition for him coming back into the club.

“He is, of course, out on loan to try and gain first team action and he will be available for selection for Saturday’s match against Morton.”
