James Vaughan nearing Huddersfield move

Norwich City striker James Vaughan is reportedly undergoing a medical at Huddersfield Town ahead of a season-long loan move.

A host of Championship clubs were believed to be interested in signing the former England Under-21 international, who has found himself down the pecking order at Carrow Road.

Canaries skipper Grant Holt, Steve Morison and Simeon Jackson all featured more prominently in Norwich's return to the Premier League last season.

Birmingham City had apparently been the favourites for Vaughan's signature, but Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson has swooped to steal him from the Blues' clutches, according to Sky Sports News.

Vaughan's arrival at the Terriers may prompt the sale of star striker Jordan Rhodes, who has been linked with Blackburn Rovers and several top-flight clubs.
