Elliott Ward returns to Huddersfield Town on loan

Huddersfield Town have re-signed Elliott Ward on loan from Bournemouth.

Ward started five games for the Terriers during his first spell earlier this season, before returning to his parent club to fully recover from a knee injury.

The 30-year-old is closing on finding his fitness once again, and Huddersfield have responded by signing the defender until December 28.

"I know that Elliott did well for the team in his original loan, so it is good that we can get him back and see him," head coach David Wagner told the club's website.

"Elliott is now available to train after his injury, so we have to get across our ideas to him like we have the other players over the last month and get him up to proper fitness. If we can do this, he can then help us on the pitch as we have a lot of matches to play until December 28."

Huddersfield currently sit 19th in the Championship.
