Huddersfield Sign Harry Toffolo From Lincoln City<\/h2>\n

The Deal<\/h3>\n

Toffolo arrives for an undisclosed fee signing a deal until 2022. The defender has been a fixture in the Lincoln since Danny Cowley signed him for the Imps.<\/p>\n

He makes the step up to the Championship as he reunites with the Cowley brothers. Danny Cowley continues to mould and shape the Huddersfield squad with several new additions and a few departures.<\/p>\n

Toffolo has been a regular in the Football League for several seasons but now gets the opportunity to play consistently in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Since joining Lincoln in 2018, Toffolo has excelled and helped the Imps win the League Two title.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s game with Brentford may come too soon for his debut. He is more likely to make his debut in Huddersfield\u2019s league game with Hull City on the 28th<\/sup> January.<\/p>\n

What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Huddersfield website<\/a> about his new signing, manager Danny Cowley said: \u201cHarry is a boy we know really well; one of the best human beings we have ever worked with.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s made some outstanding progress in the last 18 months and I don\u2019t think any professional footballer has worked harder for this opportunity than him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s diligent, a great learner and has an A* work ethic and attitude. These are essential qualities that we look for in players.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a left-back, he respects both sides of the game. He\u2019s very good in offensive moments, a strong runner, likes to overlap and enjoys getting into advanced areas. Most importantly, defensively, he\u2019s physical, robust, a good one vs one defender and defends the back post well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s on an upwards curve and has earnt the right to play at this level.”<\/p>\n
