Lonwijk makes loan move to Huddersfield

Nigel Lonwijk will spend the 2024/25 campaign on a season-long loan at League One side Huddersfield Town.

The 21-year-old - who heads to West Yorkshire having also signed a contract extension with Wolves - is well-versed in the third tier, having previously spent time with Plymouth Argyle and Wycombe Wanderers.

Lonwijk was a League One title winner with Argyle in the 2022/23 season, playing 41 times on his way to becoming a champion.

The defender signed for Grasshopper Club Zurich at the start of last season but after a brief spell and injury, returned to Wolves before heading back into League One with Wycombe.

And Lonwijk went on to play 11 times for the Chairboys during the second half of the campaign, scoring two goals – his stunning acrobatic effort at Reading winning their Goal of the Season award.

Lonwijk also played the full 90 minutes as Wycombe were beaten finalists against Peterborough United in the 2023/24 Bristol Street Motors Trophy final at Wembley.

Now heading into his third stint in League One, the Dutch centre back will link up with the Terriers, who were relegated from the Championship last time out.

Managed by Michael Duff, Huddersfield have won all three games since dropping back down into the third tier, and sit in second place behind leaders Stockport County on goal difference.
