The 23-year-old has now been allowed to leave and has joined Scottish Championship outfit Queen's Park on loan. The deal will see Hurst spend the remainder of the campaign in Scotland at the club who play out of Hampden Park.
Hurst's Rovers contract was due to be up at the end of this season but the club have confirmed that they have triggered an option that extends his stay until the summer of 2026.

Speaking over the weekend about whether deadline day exit were possible, manager Grant McCann said: "There's a few clubs interested in one or two of our players who aren't involved at this moment in time. We'll just wait and see how it plays out really. There's possibly one or two that could go out."
Hurst’s exit is likely to be the final act of a relatively quiet window for McCann’s side. They brought in three players on loan with a clutch allowed to depart temporarily, including the likes of Ben Close and Bobby Faulkner.
