Joe Lolley has joined Huddersfield Town.

The 21-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Town having the option of a further year.

The fee is undisclosed but is believed to be around £250,000 plus add ons

The right-sided frontman signed off from Kidderminster Harriers in style last night by scoring the winner against Peterborough United in an FA Cup replay to earn the Conference Primer side a tie against Sunderland.

Lolley has scored 10 times in 18 starts and a further six substitute appearances during his debut season with Kidderminster, including a hat-trick in their 3-0 home win over Salisbury City on Saturday.

Huddersfield Town Manager Mark Robins said he was pleased to be able to put an end to speculation and announce the deal: "He’s a promising talent and was highly sought-after, so it is testament to the club that he has chosen to come to Huddersfield Town.

“Joe can play off the right side of the attack or through the centre as he possesses good pace and ability on the ball, but most importantly he has an eye for goal, as his extraordinary goalscoring record in the lower echelons of English football shows.

“We will be working with Joe as he adapts to the rigours of Championship football and that will take a little time, but we believe we have a very exciting player on our hands.

"It is really important that while Joe can get better and better, he has the ability to make an impact immediately.

“Joe’s acquisition fits perfectly with the club’s clear ethos of bringing in talented, young, hungry players with lots of long term development in them.”

Lolley was at Birmingham City’s Academy until the age of 16 until he was released. He subsequently joined Bromsgrove, but it was at Midland Combination side Littleton where he made waves – netting 88 goals in just 83 games.

He combined his senior playing career at Littleton with his studies, reading a Sports Coaching degree at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.

It was through University football that his link to Kidderminster was formed. He spent the summer of 2013 representing England and Great Britain at the World University Summer Games in Russia, reaching the final before defeat to Russia.

On the GB University coaching staff was former Cheltenham striker Steve Guinan, who also coached for the Harriers.

After a promising two week trial in the summer of 2013, which included a hat-trick on his debut against Chasetown, Lolley signed a one year contract with a further year’s option at Kidderminster.

Joe will take the number 18 shirt at Huddersfield Town and is available for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship game at QPR.
