But, following his early release in February, he finished the season on loan at Carlisle United, scoring twice.

Gary Madine enjoyed his most successful season for Sheffield Wednesday under Gary Megson in 2011-12, scoring 18 goals in League One |
He has netted once this season in 13 Owls games, mostly off the bench.
"We made enquiries about his availability in the summer," said City boss Steven Pressley. "He remained very much in Sheffield Wednesday's plans at the time. But we've always been aware of the quality he has.
"He is a player we've been tracking for some time with a proven goal-scoring record at this level and certainly brings great presence and physicality to the team."
