Mooy relishing chance to play in EPL
Aaron Mooy has declared that he and Huddersfield Town are not setting any limits for themselves as player and club embark on their inaugural English Premier League seasons.
The Socceroo will play a key midfield role after the Terriers paid a $17 million transfer fee to make his deal from Manchester City permanent, as they again aim to overcome the odds, this time by staying up.
Huddersfield are the bookies’ favourite to return to the Championship ($1.55 with TAB), in sentiments echoed from last season when many pundits predicted them to drop to the third tier.
The Terriers kick off their season away to Crystal Palace, the scene of their last English top flight game 45 years ago.
Mooy (pictured), who was playing for Melbourne City 16 months ago, is relishing the prospect of playing in the world’s most popular league.
“That’s what can happen in football, everything can change quick – either good or bad. Luckily I’ve got a chance to play in the Premier League,” Mooy said.
“My full focus is on doing my best and becoming better. It’s a great opportunity for me and I want to make the most of it.”
