Huddersfield Town have signed Switzerland international Florent Hadergjonaj on a season-long loan from 2. Bundesliga side Ingolstadt.

The 23-year-old right-back who has Europa League experience with BSC Young Boys and earned their player of the year award in 2014/15, will wear the No 33 shirt at Town.

Hadergjonaj becomes Huddersfield's 11th signing this summer, following midfielder Abdelhamid Sabiri from 2. Bundesliga side FC Nurnberg.

The Terriers have the option of signing the defender permanently at the end of the season.

Hadergjonaj will provide cover to regular right-back Tommy Smith, who has had a restricted start to the Premier League, and back-up Martin Cranie is injured.

The Swiss international did not play against Town for Ingolstadt in their friendly of summer 2016 because he had not completed his move from BSC Young Boys.
