We can confirm that the season-long loan for Tom Krauß has been terminated at the midfielder’s request and he has returned to his parent club Mainz.

The 23-year-old signed on loan from the Bundesliga side towards the end of the summer transfer window in August.

After overcoming an ankle injury sustained with Mainz, Krauß came into the side against Sheffield Wednesday in September and made 23 appearances, scoring two goals and setting up four.

Tom asked to be allowed to return to home for personal reasons and the Hatters have helped to facilitate that, with a view to him pursuing a further loan in German football.

We thank Tom for his efforts this season and wish him all the best for the future.
