The Terriers are seeking a replacement for Lee Nicholls, who is out for the season after undergoing surgery on a shoulder problem. Last week, the Terriers recalled goalkeeper Ryan Schofield from his loan at Hibernian.

Huddersfield had been linked with a move for Newcastle United’s Karl Darlow but he is poised to join their Championship rivals Hull City. The Terriers lost 2-0 at Coventry City on Saturday and remain three points behind Cardiff City, although Fotheringham’s side do have a game in hand.

When asked if the club would look to sign a new goalkeeper before Tuesday’s deadline, Fotheringham insisted: "Yes, of course - we are very active in that respect. The guys are working really hard on the recruitment side and hopefully we will have some news in the next few days."

Australian Nicholas Bilokapic made his debut against Hull and was again called upon against Coventry and Fotheringham hailed the goalkeeper’s performance during Saturday’s defeat.

"I think young Nick was good, he made some good saves and had a really solid performance for a guy who is pretty much never played any first team football,” added Fotheringham.

"We protected him really well up until their two goals and we know we could have done a lot better. The back five protected him, it is just unfortunate the way we conceded the two goals in the second phase.”
