Lee Grant has confirmed Huddersfield Town are far from finished in the transfer market as the League One rebuild gathers pace.
Terriers Set for Further Strengthening
Huddersfield Town have already added seven fresh faces to their squad, including defenders Joe Low, Sean Roughan, Josh Feeney and Murray Wallace, along with goalkeeper Owen Goodman and midfielders Ryan Ledson and Marcus Harness. But with eight permanent players released and four loanees returning to their parent clubs, Grant admits there is still plenty of work to do.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, the manager said:
“I think the answer to that is probably yes. If you just looked at it from a sheer numbers perspective, you’re talking about 12 bodies out and I think we’re at seven bodies on the way in, so there’s probably work for us to do there still.”
The club is understood to be targeting reinforcements in attacking areas, with Harness the only forward signed to date. But Grant was quick to reassure supporters that all positions are being reviewed holistically rather than focusing solely on specific roles. “We don’t look at things like ‘we need exactly this or exactly that’,” he explained. “We look at things collectively and as a whole.”
The former England goalkeeper highlighted the increasing burden recruitment places on modern managers, saying:
“It’s taking up a lot of our time, but we’re more than happy to dedicate that time to it. This is the name of the game right now.”
With pre-season now under way and the League One campaign fast approaching, the club’s recruitment team – headed by Grant and chief executive Jake Edwards – remains active behind the scenes.
Addressing fan concerns about a lack of wingers or physical strikers, Grant was adamant that internal analysis carries more weight than external noise. “I’m working with the players every day, and I get the opportunity to profile them really closely,” he said. “I don’t feel like there’s probably anybody in a better position than myself and my staff to make those calls.”
Site Opinion
Huddersfield Town’s approach under Lee Grant appears structured, clear and refreshingly honest. Unlike many managers who issue vague platitudes, Grant has given a frank appraisal of where the squad is, what needs to be done, and how much work remains.
The focus on collective recruitment rather than panicked role-filling suggests long-term thinking, and with the spine of the team already reinforced, attention can now turn to the final third. Fans hoping for flair and firepower still have reason for optimism – but this rebuild is being built on solid foundations first.
