Flo signing is great for fans and club plans

-

preparing for the next season whether that be in the Premier League or the Championsh­ip.

The right back spot was a problem position for Town heading into the season, with a deal for Barnsley’s Andy Yiadom failing to materialis­e and Dimitri Cavare failing to impress enough in his trial with the Terriers leaving Smith as the only recognisab­le right-sided defender.

But since Hadergjona­j joined from the 2. Bundesliga on August 24, that spot has been accounted for.

And now that the Young Boys academy graduate is set to be a permanent fixture in the Town squad, David Wagner can cast his mind to other positions in the summer.

Now, whether Town stay up or go down, there are only couple of slots in the squad that will need sorting the goalkeeper situation being one with Jonas Lossl still only a loan signing, as well as cover defensivel­y with the versatile Terrence Kongolo on loan from AS Monaco.

Additional­ly, the signing shows a positive outlook from the ownership at Town, with Dean Hoyle greenlight­ing a move despite the club still being in the midst of a relegation scrap.

Not only does it show a determinat­ion that Town will either stay up or are preparing for another crack at promotion next year should they go down, but it should hand the squad a boost heading into the biggest fortnight of the season so far.

Let’s hope Hadergjona­j can mark his move with a celebrator­y first Town goal against either Swansea City or Crystal Palace at the John Smith’s Stadium in the coming week or so.
