Bolton have confirmed striker Joe Mason has returned to parent club Cardiff by mutual consent.
The 23-year-old scored 10 goals in 30 appearances spread across three loan spells during the course of the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns.
Mason joined the Trotters on a season-long loan back in August last year but will now return to South Wales to continue his recovery from a hamstring injury.
The former Plymouth youth player has not made a competitive appearance for the Bluebirds since January 2014.
