Huddersfield Town have used their option to extend Brodie Spencer's contract by a further year.

The defender was one of the Terriers' best performers in a disappointing second half of last season, returning from a loan spell at Motherwell to feature in all 21 remaining games of the season, two as substitute.

Huddersfield were relegated from the Championship last season, but Spencer was one of those who could hold his head high.

As well as his attitude – an important factor given the criticisms Andre Breitenreiter had for some members of the squad – his versatility to play across the back line was also important.

In Michal Helik, Tom Lees and Matty Pearson, Town have some experienced defenders who will be important in League One this season but aged 20, Spencer is at the other end of the career scale yet was still handed the captain's armband by Motherwell in his time there.

The nine-cap Northern Ireland international who signed from Cliftonville in 2020 is now committed to the club until the summer of 2026.

Huddersfield start their new League One campaign at Peterborough United on Saturday.
