Huddersfield have completed the signing of Yeovil defender Lee Peltier.

The 22-year-old former Liverpool trainee has agreed a three-year contract, subject to a medical.

Terriers manager Lee Clark told the club's official website: "Lee is a player I know well. We had him on trial when I was assistant at Norwich, but we didn't have the finances to secure the deal.

"He's a fantastic athlete and is very accomplished on the ball, as you would expect given he was schooled at Liverpool.

"There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding whether or not we will get Martin Kelly and if so whether it will be before the start of the season and I felt it was necessary to bring in a permanent right-back anyway.

Clark added: "We're delighted to have Lee here. He will be a tremendous asset. He can also play as a holding midfield player or at centre-back. Antony Kay is another versatile lad and these versatile players give me options."
