Sean Scannell makes Huddersfield Town switch

Huddersfield Town have confirmed the signing of Sean Scannell from Crystal Palace.

The 23-year-old forward came through the youth ranks at Selhurst Park and made 141 first-team appearances for the Eagles.

Terriers manager Simon Grayson had been keen to bolster his side's attacking options ahead of their return to the Championship and, following talks held earlier today, Scannell's arrival was announced on the club's official website.

A statement read: "Simon Grayson has today agreed his first capture of the summer after tying up a three year deal for Crystal Palace winger Sean Scannell."

Grayson added: "We are delighted to welcome Sean to the club - he is a brilliant addition. We have been working hard on a number of targets and hopefully we will be able to get a few more tied up over the next couple of days.

"He is an exciting, young, talented footballer who is very adaptable. He can play on either wing or just off the striker - he offers great options."

Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Keith Andrews is said to be on Huddersfield's radar.
