Chris Powell completed his second new signing of the week as he brought Australian international left-back Jason Davidson to Huddersfield Town and said: “A lot of hard work has gone into making this happen.”
Former Middlesbrough midfielder Dean Whitehead will be the other new face when pre-season training starts on Wednesday.
Manager Powell believes getting the pair in before squad work begins at PPG Canalside is a real bonus.
“Recruiting a top-quality left back was a key priority in this transfer window and we believe we have achieved this in signing Jason,” said the boss.
“The club’s scouting team started tracking him a full 18 months ago during his time in Holland and our team has watched him regularly ever since for Heracles and West Brom as well as the Australia national team.
“We tried to recruit him in March, but could not reach a deal.
“He possesses the attributes that we were looking for in a left-back, he is an athletic player who has attacking ability, but most importantly he is a good defender.
“As a left-back in my playing days, I believe the latter is the strongest quality required.”
