Huddersfield Town complete out-of-window signing with addition of ex-Swansea City winger's brother

Huddersfield Town have completed an out-of-window signing, recruiting young winger Donnell Garrick.

The 17-year-old has been plucked from non-league outfit Emley following a trial period with the Terriers.

He will initially link up with the club’s under-19 side as he looks to progress towards Darren Moore’s first-team.

"He’s clearly got talent, but now the hard work with our coaches begins for him daily.

“We’re always delighted when we can source talented young footballers locally.

"I would like to thank the good people at Emley for their cooperation in allowing Donnell to continue his journey in football with us.”

Garrick’s older brother Jordon is currently lighting up League One with Forest Green Rovers, who he joined from Swansea City in January.

Emley under-18s coach Steve Stennett said: "During the brief period I've known Donnell, I observed his exceptional professionalism in his interactions with both coaches and fellow teammates.

"Witnessing his effortless glide down the wing was an absolute joy to see. On behalf of myself, Conner, and everyone at Emley, we extend our heartfelt best wishes for his future success at Huddersfield Town."
