Huddersfield Town release Jimmy Spencer

Huddersfield Town have decided to release Jimmy Spencer from his contract.

The striker has made two appearances for the first team since graduating from the club's academy in the 2009-10 season, and has spent loan spells at a number of clubs, including at Scunthorpe United this season.

However, the Terriers have allowed him to depart, with manager Mark Robins saying that he cannot offer regular first-team football.

"Jimmy has reached the stage of his career where he wants to play regular first-team football and have continuity, which is not something we can offer him at Huddersfield," Robins told the club's official website.

"As a result, this course of action is in the best interests of both parties. He is now a free agent to progress his career."

Huddersfield are 13th in the Championship.
