Former Tottenham trainee scored his first Premier League goal for Huddersfield.
Alex Pritchard stole the show for Huddersfield Town yesterday in the Terriers’ 4-1 win over Bournemouth.
Pritchard’s signed for Huddersfield from Norwich City in January, 18 months after he left Tottenham’s academy to go and play regularly.
His time at the Canaries was hit by injury as was his final year at Tottenham, and Huddersfield now hope they may be able to get the best out of him.
His goal against Bournemouth was a positive sign, and Pritchard’s all round game was so important to Huddersfield, linking their midfield and striker Steve Mounie effortlessly.
Pritchard is a former England under-21 international and a performance like Sunday’s is no surprise to those who watched him star for Tottenham’s academy years ago.
He is now finally getting the platform to do it, and this was a sign he can deliver on his potential, starring on just his second league start for Huddersfield.
