The Irish striker moved to Hillsborough on an initial one month loan deal with the option to extend that into a second month.

Sunderland boss Mick McCarthy has however decided against allowing Murphy a second month with The Owls and he could go straight into the first team squad for the hectic festive programme of games.

"It's been a good experience," Murphy told Sunderland's official website.

"I'm looking forward to coming back and showing what I can do at Sunderland.

"I settled very quickly at Wednesday, I've really enjoyed it, it's a big club.

"Now I want to get back in the Sunderland team and play as many games as possible in the Premiership."
