Huddersfield Town have signed Jamal Blackman on a deal until the end of the season.

The former Chelsea man has been a free agent since leaving Los Angeles FC at the back end of 2021 and he joins the Terriers to add competition for places between the sticks with Lee Nicholls and Ryan Schofield.

The 28-year-old endured eight loan spells away from Chelsea before leaving at the end of last season, gathering bags of EFL experience in that time to help him transition smoothly to his new surroundings.

Blackman started 25 times in the Championship last season as Rotherham United were narrowly relegated and he will be confident of proving his worth to Carlos Corberan in the coming months.

The Terriers still find themselves in the play-off mix despite dropping two points late on at home to Stoke City on Friday evening.

Corberan's men had been tipped to struggle this season, but some smart summer and January business has them well placed for a comfortable top half finish.

It will be interesting to see where Blackman lies in the pecking order at the John Smith's Stadium having proven himself as an effective second tier glovesman in patches over the years.
