Huddersfield Town sign Jermaine Beckford on loan

Jermaine Beckford has joined Huddersfield Town on an emergency loan deal from Leicester City.

The 28-year-old will remain on loan at Huddersfield until December 29, and will join up with manager Simon Grayson, whom he played under at Leeds United.

Grayson said: "Jermaine is a good footballer and he adds something different to the squad.

"The players we have at the squad all have different qualities and Jermaine is a natural goalscorer."

Beckford will go straight into the Huddersfield squad to face Watford on Saturday afternoon.
