Huddersfield have completed the signing of former England goalkeeper Rob Green on a one-year deal.

The Premier League side also have the option to extend the 37-year-old's contract by a further year.

Green, who had his contract at Leeds terminated by mutual consent, becomes manager David Wagner's 13th signing of the summer transfer window.

"I think it makes total sense to bring Rob Green in because after Jonas Lossl, who has done an excellent job so far, we have very young goalkeepers with Joel Coleman and Ryan Schofield," Wagner told the club's official website.

"I have spoken to Paul Clements and we agreed that we wanted to add more experience to our goalkeeper group.

"I met Rob and he is a very experienced guy and a good guy. He knows the role I expect from him in the next 10 months he'll be with us. I'm very happy he can join us."
