Busy Town schedule is fine for Izzy

-

It was his 21st outing of the season after a loan spell at Town’s Championsh­ip rivals Rotherham United was cut short as Chelsea exercised their January recall option.

And he can’t wait for Saturday’s big Championsh­ip showdown with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborou­gh.

“I want to play games,” said the Stamford Bridge prospect, who spent all of last season in Holland with Vitesse Arnhem.

“That was why I went to Rotherham and it’s why I have come to Huddersfie­ld.”

England Under 20 internatio­nal Brown, who can play all the forward positions but says he feels most at home on the left, swapped a survival fight for a promotion push when he left the New York Stadium for the John Smith’s.

Town are fourth in the Championsh­ip and will seek a sixth win in eight league matches at Hillsborou­gh.

“Rotherham are in a battle, and I really hope they stay up,” added Brown, who could face the Millers in South Yorkshire on Tuesday, February 14.

“There are a lot of good people at the club and I enjoyed my time there and learned a lot.

“I had a few options at the start of the season and chose Rotherham because I thought it would benefit me.

“I think it did, but then between myself and Chelsea, we decided it might be better if I spent the second part of the season at a different club.

“There were a few possibilit­ies, and I went with what I thought was the best one for me and my career. “I like the way Huddersfie­ld play and I think the possession and passing game suits me well. “I remember coming here with Rotherham and we hardly touched the ball. I could see how good the Huddersfie­ld players were and how exciting the system was.” Brown, who has made one firstteam appearance for Chelsea, is good mates with Kasey Palmer, who is on a season-long loan from Stamford Bridge. “We talk all the time, so I know how much he has enjoyed himself,” explained Brown. He has told me all abut the manager and the way he works. “I have seen how well Kasey has done and how the fans love him and I’m hoping for the same!” There were a few possibilit­ies, and I went with what I thought was the best one for me and my career
