Huddersfield Town transfer latest: Championship midfielder joins to fill gap left by Middlesbrough-bound loanee

The 22-year-old, described as a box-to-box midfielder who is able to operate in several positions in the middle of the pitch, enjoyed back-to-back promotions from the Championship and League One with his parent club and is well known to Town manager Lee Grant from his time in Suffolk.

With prized loanee Leo Castledine set to complete a permanent move to Middlesbrough following his recall by Chelsea, the arrival of Humphreys will add another quality option in the midfield department for Town.

Humphreys, who had made four appearances for Ipswich this term, excelled during a season-long loan at League One promotion-chasers Wycombe Wanderers last season, where he featured 50 times - including on 42 occasions - in the league and contributed seven goals and six assists.

He won the club's player of the season award, with Wanderers having been keen on re-signing him in the current winter window.

Oxford United were also linked with a move for Humphreys, who has featured 43 times for Ipswich – and was named as academy and young player of the year in a breakthrough 2021-22 season.

Town boss Lee Grant commented: "I’m absolutely delighted to bring Cameron to the club and look forward to working with him again on a daily basis.

"An energetic and exciting midfielder, he will provide qualities within central areas that are different to what we currently have available whilst complimenting our style of play and those operating around him.

"Someone I’ve known for some time, he is an impressive young man on and off the pitch who has excelled at this level in the recent past.

"A player our supporters will enjoy having represent them, it’s brilliant to have completed this deal early in the transfer window to maximise his time with us."

Humphreys added: "Looking for the right opportunity during this transfer window to find an ambitious side to join for the second half of the season, it was immediately clear that Huddersfield Town was the perfect option for me.

"Working with manager Lee Grant again was obviously a huge appeal too, with the way he wants to play football and the desire of the team this season, it is all really exciting for me."

Humphreys' arrival follows on from Town's addition of back-up keeper Jak Alnwick. Loanee Owen Goodman returned to his parent club Crystal Palace today, while midfielder Ben Wiles has joined MK Dons on a permanent basis.
