Terriers Want Beckford Extension

Huddersfield Town chairman Dean Hoyle has stated on BBC Radio that he is hoping that Jermaine Beckford can have his loan extended with the terriers until the end of the season. Beckford joined on loan from Leicester City after a deal fell through at the last minute in the transfer window. Since joining, Beckford has gone on to score three goals in six appearances and the terriers chairman praised the loanee's attitude and commitment for the goals he has scored;

"I think Jermaine's view is he'd probably like to stay with us for the season and hopefully that can be arranged. He loves it here and gets on very well with Simon Grayson. Jermaine is a fantastic character. Before I met him I thought he had a bit of an attitude but since I met him, he's been a cracking guy. We'd like him to be around longer term but ultimately it's Leicester's call."

Beckford was one of Simon Grayson's main targets and he finally got his replacement for Jordan Rhodes when Leicester allowed the striker to move after dropping him to the U21 side. Hoyle admitted that the club was hugely effected by the loss of Rhodes but it has moved on in the right direction;

"When Jordan went it killed us to be honest. I never thought that anyone would come in and pay £8 million for him and the timing of the deal was an absolute nightmare in terms of getting a replacement."
