Huddersfield Town have rewarded Chris Lowe and Elias Kachunga with new deals after the pair helped them win promotion to the Premier League.

Both German left-back Lowe, 28, and striker Kachunga, 25, first moved to the Terriers last summer and each played over 40 Championship games last term.

Kachunga originally arrived on loan from Ingolstadt, but that was made into a permanent arrangement in March and last season’s top scorer will now remain at Huddersfield until 2020.

Lowe’s new contract will also expire in that year.
