Grayson welcomed the 26 year old to the club and was delighted in fending off other clubs for the defenders signature. Here is what Grayson had to say about his sixth pre-season signing;
"We're delighted to welcome Anthony to Huddersfield, because we've worked very hard to seal his signature amid a lot of competition from other clubs. Just like the large majority of our summer signings – the likes of Keith Southern, Joel Lynch, Sean Scannell, Adam Clayton and Oliver Norwood – he has plenty of Championship experience, but also he is still a young player who has yet to reach his peak - exactly the type of player I want."
"He's also a real leader and you can never have enough of those on the pitch. He has a real hunger to succeed too, as Cardiff has deemed him surplus to requirements. He's shown he can perform very well at the top end of the Championship over the last few years and he'll do well for us."
"The centre back department is vital for any team and I think we have fantastic competition for places and depth now when you add Anthony to the likes of Joel, Peter and Murray."
Gerrard is set to be in the stands for tonight's friendly clash against Barcelona B but will undoubtedly meet up with his new squad members either today or tomorrow at training.
