Ambition of Huddersfield Town convinces Aaron Mooy to make loan switch from Manchester City

Mooy has become the latest addition to Town’s squad, with the Australian international representing the ninth player that the club have brought in during a busy summer so far.

The 25-year-old only signed for City from Aussie side Melbourne City on June 30 on a three-year-deal, having made a big impact in his two years in Victoria.

He won the player-of-the-year award in two seasons there, while amassing a record 21 assists in the A-league last term.

But he has now immediately been loaned out to the Championship.

On signing for Town, Mooy, who began his career at Bolton Wanderers and had a spell at Scottish club St Mirren before returning to Australia with Western Sydney, said: “I had a meeting with the manager and the chairman.

“The manager - he did a very good job of persuading me, because the way he wants to play, I think I will fit into that and that is why I am here.

“He is a great man and a positive guy, what I’ve seen so far.

“I like to play on the ground and play nice football, so that is part of the reason why I wanted to come to Huddersfield, and David is in charge of implementing that style.”

Previous arrivals already this summer at Town are £1.8m club record signing Chris Schindler and fellow Germans Chris Low, Michael Hefele and Elias Kachunga - alongside Dutch winger Rajiv van La Parra, Croatian midfielder Ivan Paurevic, playmaker Jack Payne and goalkeeper Joel Coleman.
