davieG Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 LOAN: ANDY KING JOINS FROM LEICESTER CITY! Premier League winner arrives until the summer - Huddersfield Town signs Andy King on loan - Midfielder won the Premier League with Leicester City - Comments from Manager Danny Cowley Huddersfield Town has completed the signing of Wales international Andy King on loan from Premier League side Leicester City for the rest of the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship season! The 31-year-old midfielder completed his medical at PPG Canalside and will be eligible for selection for Manager Danny Cowley for Saturday’s home game against Brentford. King arrives with 400 competitive domestic games under his belt – three quarters of which have been in European competition, the Premier League and the Championship – as well as 50 caps for his country. He’s also been a consistent source of goals from central midfield, netting 64 times in domestic football. Alongside new Town teammate Danny Simpson, he was a big part of the Foxes side that won the Premier League title in 2016. Andy will take squad number 29 during his time as a Terrier. Huddersfield Town Manager Danny Cowley commented: “I’d like to begin by giving our thanks to Brendan Rodgers and Jon Rudkin at Leicester City for making Andy’s loan possible. They’ve gone out of their way to help a player who has done brilliantly for them, which says a lot both about their Club and the player. “There’s a real alignment with what we’re striving to do and Andy’s goals for the rest of the season. We’re fighting to maintain our position in the league and Andy is incredibly determined to do well, as he’s out of contract soon and fighting to make the Wales squad for the upcoming European Championships. “He’s a versatile, goal scoring midfielder who can play in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, which is important to us too. “Andy arrives here with great experience, and very importantly from a winning culture. Everyone you speak to in football about Andy has only the very best to say about him as a character. It was important that we brought some senior players here who can help drive the standards for our group. We have some talented younger footballers here who will benefit hugely from the substance that the senior players will bring.” You can also welcome Andy to the Club on social media: https://www.htafc.com/news/2020/january/loan-andy-king-joins-from-leicester-city/
lgfualol Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 If he can't get in that shit side then he really has lost it. Good luck Andrew.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Good luck Kingy, hope it works out and he gets some good game time.
foxy boxing Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Good luck Kingy, he's now been on loan at a number of clubs, Swansea, Derby, Rangers and now Huddersfield. will he finish his Career by being a loan player or see out his contract with Leicester and move somewhere on a free. whatever he does good luck to him.
FLAN Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Remember when he went to rangers being told he’d tear it up in that league... I think this will end up similar. Best days are long gone
Tommo220 Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Guw on Kingeh!! Hope its a good loan - he's still got a lot to offer any team in the champ/lower prem in my opinion.
Permafrost Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Debut against Brentford this weekend - he can nobble 'em for us!
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 The Cowley brothers getting the band back together!

MPH Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 i’m so watching out for Huddersfield’s results now! Really want them to do well now. Thats the kind of impact Kingy and Simpson has on the Leicester fans.
KingsX Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Too long since we've seen Kingy in action! ESPN+ streams two or three Championship matches per Saturday, and occasionally midweek. Schedule set through February -- and no HTFC match on the list
DerbyshireFox Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 A great servant and ambassador for the club. Good luck Kingy, hopefully you get back out on the pitch and push for the Welsh squad again 🦊💙
Realjimbo Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Great news for a proper footballer who loves to play, hope he gets lots of game time, he deserves it. Good on ya Kingy
Hollyfox Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Be lovely if he could lead the Terriers to victory over Derby and Forest👍😉
Corky Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Hope he can settle there and have a good career beyond us.
FoyleFox Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Intrinsic part of some of our greatest recent achievements, wish him all the very best.
norwichfox Posted 16 January 2020 Posted 16 January 2020 Pleased for Kingy, good luck to him at Huddersfield.
