SIMON CHURCH is hoping Huddersfield Town’s 1-0 Championship win at Barnsley is the start of something special – both for him and the club.
The on-loan 23-year-old striker emerged from a bright debut in the derby to explain the victory which put Town back into the play-off places was reminiscent of a string of games as his parent club Reading won promotion to the Premier League last season.

“We went up by getting wins like that,” said the Wales ace, whose initial stay at Town runs until December 8 and takes in five further matches.
“We got into the way of going ahead and working our socks off to hold onto the lead.”
Church, who supplied the cross for Jermaine Beckford to head Town’s 36th-minute winner, added: “It’s not just about the players who get the goals.

“Often the others don’t get the praise they should, and it took a good team effort to earn this win.
“It’s a great position to be in at this stage of the season, and I hope there are a lot more wins to come.
“It’s great to be here, I owe Huddersfield a lot for giving me this opportunity of regular football, and I just want to do as well as I can in the month I’m here and see what happens.”
