New Town striker Robbie Simpson is confident that he can score the goals to propel the Club into the Championship following his move from Coventry City.
The 24-year old has now completed his medical and is a fully-fledged Huddersfield Town player and told htafc.com that he cannot wait to work with manager Lee Clark after completing his first day of training yesterday (Tuesday).
"I knew that Huddersfield were interested in me towards the end of last season. I know all about the Club and I was immediately very interested in the move, as I want to play regular first-team football," Robbie said of his move to West Yorkshire.
"Once I met with the manager and felt his ambition, it wasn't a very hard decision for me to make. I feel that Lee can develop me as a player and it is possible that I could be playing in the Championship for Huddersfield Town next season if things go well.
"It was very frustrating for me at Coventry; I was pushed out to the wing and given that people know me as a striker, my goalscoring record doesn't look very good. I am thrilled and delighted that Lee sees me as a central striker - that is my position and is where I scored my goals at Cambridge. I'm looking forward to playing there again.
"I'm really looking forward to getting started and scoring a lot of goals for this Club."
Clark is known to be good friends with Coventry City boss Chris Coleman, but Simpson admitted that he did not ask his former boss for a reference before becoming a Terrier.
"To be honest, I haven't spoken to my old manager about the move at all. This move is all my own decision and I like to judge people and situations on my own rather than relying on references from other people. Lee seems like a great bloke and I am looking forward to working with him.
"I will be whatever the manager wants me to be really - if I need to be a target man I am happy but if he wants me to play off a bigger guy I feel I am equally adept at playing that role. Hopefully whatever the manager asks of me I can deliver.
"I'm very confident that I can score goals regularly in League One, just as I am sure that I could in the Championship if I played up front. League One will be tough and is a new challenge for me, but I am confident that I can score goals and help to get Huddersfield promoted."
Having started his career in non-League for Cambridge City and Cambridge United before a move to the Championship, Robbie has never played in League One but he is confident that he can adapt to his new division.
"It's brilliant that I get to test myself in a League that is new to me. I will have to adapt to the style in which teams play, but I am still young and it is all a part of my learning curve. I am only 24 and I have got a lot to learn, but I want to get better.
"I cannot wait to pull on a shirt. The quicker this pre-season period goes for me, the better because all I want to do is get out on the pitch and score goals."
