Championship side Huddersfield Town run the rule over former Aston Villa striker

Sturridge, who turned 22 earlier this month, struck twice in the 3-3 draw for the Terriers B team in their Central League Cup group stage game with Bolton Wanderers.

Sturridge came up through the youth ranks at Villa Park but was released in the summer, without making a senior first-team appearance.

The striker did made a couple of appearances for the Midlanders in the Papa John's Trophy in 2021-22.

Young forward Hazeem Bakre, who netted a treble in the recent B team cup game with Rotherham United, also found the target for the Terriers against Bolton.
