The Championship side announced the deal on their official club Twitter account.

The 18-year-old Spaniard has made 15 appearances for the Bees so far this season, scoring twice.
His loan deal was originally set to end on January 3, but Liverpool have agreed to let him stay with Dean Smith’s side until the end of the campaign.
Brentford currently sit ninth in the Championship table, just four points behind sixth-placed Ipswich Town.
While any realistic chance of competing for an automatic promotion place looks highly unlikely, they are in the race to finish in the play-offs, which is their best chance of earning promotion to the Premier League.
Speaking about the decision to keep Canos at the club until the summer, Smith told the Brentford official website:
I have been really pleased with Sergi and he has been progressing really well.
Even though he is only 18-years-old, he has quite an old head on young shoulders. He has impressed me so far. He wants to learn and he wants to get better.
He is enjoying himself here and he gives us something that we haven’t really got here in terms of his direct running and enthusiasm.
It is encouraging to have a player like Sergi here for the rest of the season.
