Emerging young Scot in £400,000 transfer to Huddersfield Town

HUDDERSFIELD Town have completed the signing of Scotland Under-21 midfielder Scott Arfield from Falkirk for around £400,000.

Arfield, who made his debut in the Scottish Premier League three years ago, has signed a three-year deal.

Known for his work-rate and stamina, he generally operates as a box-to-box midfielder but is versatile enough to operate on either flank or just off a main striker.

Manager Lee Clark said: "Scott has been on our minds all season. He's a player that we have watched more than any other.

"All the reports we have on him are very, very good and when (assistant manager) Terry McDermott and I went up to Falkirk to watch him a couple of weeks ago we saw a very good young player.

"The contacts we have in Scotland, other managers, players and so on, rate Scott as one of the brightest young prospects in Scottish football, so we're delighted to have him on board."
