AFC Bournemouth defender Elliott Ward back at Huddersfield Town on loan
Monday 7 December 2015 16:45, UK
Huddersfield have re-signed defender Elliott Ward on loan from Bournemouth.
The 30-year-old centre-back had joined up with the Terriers during September, but returned to his parent club for assessment and treatment on a knee injury.
Ward is close to ending his recovery period, and will therefore return to the John Smith's Stadium until December 28.
New Terriers head coach David Wagner is glad to have the ex-Coventry and Norwich man at his disposal as the hectic festive schedule approaches.
"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," Wagner said on the club's official 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."
