Manchester United youngster Reece James has joined Huddersfield Town on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old made seven appearances for Rotherham United during a temporary stay earlier in the campaign before returning to Old Trafford when the agreement expired in January.

But he will now head back into the Championship with the Terriers after an emergency loan deal was signed.

And Huddersfield manager Chris Powell has expressed delight at capturing the Reds prospect, who will replace the injured Jack Robinson in his team.

“It’s fantastic news for the club that we’ve been able to secure Reece’s services for the rest of the season," he told the club's official website.

“He excelled in a loan period in the Championship earlier this season and he possesses the quality that we need to cover for the unfortunate recent loss of Jack Robinson to injury.

"Once Jack was ruled out for the season, we’ve stepped up our search for a left back and the board of directors didn’t hesitate in backing me in the market.

“Reece is comfortable at left back or in a more advanced wing back role, which suits our style perfectly.

"It’s great that we have completed the move early in the international break too, as it will give him time to bed in with his new teammates ahead of our game at Sheffield Wednesday.”

James scored twice in a 7-0 victory over LA Galaxy during the pre-season tour of the United States.

But he has made just one first-team appearance since, during the 4-0 drubbing at the hands of MK Dons in the League Cup.
