Huddersfield have completed the signing of Denmark international centre-back Mathias Jorgensen.

The 27-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the newly-promoted Premier League side and becomes their eighth signing in seven days.

And Terriers boss David Wagner said: "Mathias is another very good signing for our club.

"He is a very complete defender with great experience of being successful in every league he has played in, which served us well with the signings we made last season too.

David Wagner says he's spent his summer break planning how to keep Huddersfield in the Premier League

"His athleticism and football intelligence will be big assets in the Premier League, for sure, and he is a super professional character, which will fit in with our current group of players very well.

"This deal makes total sense for us because Jon Stankovic is out of action until Christmas."

Jorgensen was captain of the Danish Superliga club Copenhagen and has seven caps for his country.
