Huddersfield have signed goalkeeper Jed Steer on a 28-day emergency loan deal from Aston Villa.
Steer, 22, has been drafted in as cover for Joe Murphy, who is expected to miss Saturday's league game at Cardiff due to an unspecified injury.
Huddersfield boss Chris Powell told the club's official website: "I'm really happy to welcome Jed to the club.
"It's no secret that we need another goalkeeper added to the squad and Jed has been on our radar for a while.
"If anything happens, like it has, I'm glad the club can act quickly and bring somebody of his calibre in. He will go straight into the squad for the upcoming games.
"He is a young talented goalkeeper who has had some experience out on loan.
"He has played for two different Premier League clubs and at youth level for his country and we hope that his month with us is successful in every way possible."
Steer progressed through hometown club Norwich's academy and joined Aston Villa in June 2013 for a reported £450,000 fee.
The former England youth international made his Premier League debut for Villa in the home defeat to Burnley in May 2015 and has also had loan spells at Doncaster and Yeovil.
