Huddersfield Town’s Under-18 side met defeat against category one Academy side Middlesbrough in the north east on Saturday morning in its latest pre-season friendly ahead of the 2015/16 Professional Development League 2 season.
Second year scholar Jack Boyle, an attack-minded midfielder, netted Town’s only goal of the game in the defeat to the clinical hosts

With Oldham Athletic cancelling the midweek friendly against Town’s Under-18s, the side is now back in action on Saturday when Sunderland visits PPG Canalside in a noon kick-off.
