Burnley have agreed to allow striker Steve Jones to return to his former club Crewe Alexandra on loan until the end of the season.
The 31 year-old has made only one start for the Clarets this term, spending most of this season on the substitute's bench.
Burnley boss Owen Coyle told the club's official website: "Crewe and Huddersfield have been chasing him for the last couple of months, but he's been injured during that time.
"He's now got a couple of reserve games under his belt, but he needs regular games. The question was does he stay here and continue to play in the reserves, or play at a good level with Crewe?
"So, we've decided he can go to Crewe on loan until the end of the season and then he'll come back to us in pre-season, obviously still under contract to ourselves and ready to give his all again."
