HUDDERSFIELD Town have agreed to Liam Cooper's request to cut short his loan and return to parent club Hull City. 

The 20-year-old centre-back, who was due to stay at the Galpharm all season, has made just five starts and appeared twice as a substitute. 

After manager Nigel Pearson's departure from Hull to Leicester, Cooper is keen to force his way into Nick Barmby's thinking at the Championship club.
