But he has started just seven of those outings and now looks set to be sold.
Barnsley pushed to sign Mowatt as soon as Conor Hourihane was sold to Aston Villa earlier this week.
Hourihane had been a key component of Barnsley's rise up the Championship table this season and scored in the 3-2 win over Leeds last week.
