Huddersfield Town have loaned in Deby County striker Liam Dickinson for a month.
Town manager Stan Ternent told his club’s official website: “I spoke to [Derby manager] Paul [Jewell] and I knew he was bringing a few players in and it’s a big step up for Liam from where he has been to the Championship. I’ve been on with it for a while and I actually asked when he first made the move, but Paul now thinks it would be a good idea for him to come and play for us.
“I think it’s an excellent idea, because I have to look after Boothy [Andy Booth] and he hasn’t trained at all so far this week. Boothy is ‘Mr. Huddersfield’ and is a fantastic player but I do need cover for him and Liam becoming available is ideal for us.
“Paul knows I’ll look after him and I’ll teach him; I appreciate the favour. Liam is a £750,000 footballer and he’ll certainly go on to be a very, very good player. He’s still only relatively young and this is a step up from his experiences with Stockport in League Two, so it’s a good challenge for him. We’ll make him very welcome here as we have a fantastic set of lads and it can only be good for us.
“The move is for one month, but obviously I would like to keep him for longer than that because he’s a proven goalscorer and he’ll do well for us. However, his club is Derby; we’ll have to see what happens - if Liam and Paul are up for it, we could extend it. One step at a time.”
