Wednesday said in their own statement: "Alex Mighten has returned to parent club Nottingham Forest. The 20-year-old joined the Owls on loan in August and made 16 appearances in all competitions.
"Mighten scored two goals during his time at Hillsborough, the first in our Emirates FA Cup victory over Morecambe and then in league action away at Accrington.
"Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Alex and wish him all the best for the future."
Mighten has made competitive appearances for both Forest and Wednesday this season, so according to FIFA rules cannot move to a third Europe-based club this season. However, the Sheffield Star reports that the player could be allowed another loan move under "special dispensation measures".
