Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Ian Bennett believes that he and his teammates can shock the Championship in the new season.

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Ian Bennett is confident that the Terriers can make a name for themselves in the Championship.

The former League One side were promoted to the second division of English football via the playoffs and Bennett, who recently signed a fresh two-year deal at the club, believes that Huddersfield can "surprise" spectators.

"Everyone is still on a high at the club following promotion and having played at this level before I think our squad can definitely compete at this level, particularly given the additions the manager has made already," Bennett told the club's official website.

"It's going to be a great division to play in this season - a lot of the other teams play in the same style as us and that will only help. If we start the season well, I think we might surprise a few people. You never know where a good start can take you."

The 40-year-old's previous experience in the higher divisions includes a 12-year stint with Birmingham City.
