Huddersfield Town’s Head of Goalkeeping, Paul Clements, commented:

“The pandemic had a big impact on us being able to find Academy players.

“A former Coach at West Ham has started his own Academy and recommended Michael to me.

“We had him come up to play three games on trial for us, but unfortunately all three got cancelled!

“We really liked him straight away, and he has the potential to kick on.

“He’s a great character, he’s got a good stature, he’s very athletic and it’ll be interesting to see how he progresses over the next two seasons.”
