Hiwula returns to Huddersfield
The striker signed for Latics in August, with Emyr Huws going the other way. Both players moved on season long loans.
However, the Terriers have cut the Hiwula deal short, leaving boss Gary Caldwell just hours to find a possible replacement before the transfer window closes. Huws will stay with Huddersfield.

“He wants to stay, he’s enjoying his time here, and he feels he’s improving as a player,” he said.
“He’s getting his opportunity here and he wants to be a part of that, which is great.
“It’s down to the player as to what happens, it’s in his hands, and he wants to be here.”

Meanwhile Don Cowie, who was released by Latics last week, looks set to join Hearts.
