Huddersfield Town striker Jordy Hiwula has agreed a deal to join Fleetwood Town on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Hiwula is well down the pecking order at Huddersfield and the Premier League new boys are happy to send him out for another temporary stint.

The 22-year-old spent last season out on loan at Bradford City, scoring 12 goals in 49 appearances to help them reach the League One play-off final.

Hiwula joined Huddersfielld in the summer of 2015 from Manchester City but made only one substitute appearance for the Terriers in 2015-16.

The former England Under-19 international had loan spells out at Wigan and Walsall in the 2015/16 season after finding his first-team chances limited under Huddersfield boss David Wagner.

Hiwula scored twice in 14 league appearances for the Latics, seven of them from the bench, as well as adding four more goals in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy before moving to Walsall where he scored three goals in 16 outings for the Saddlers.

Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler is a big admirer of Hiwula and sees him as a key addition to his squad as he looks to mount another bid for promotion next season.
