Summer recruit Ollie on his move to Huddersfield Town
- HTTV interviews new signing Ollie Turton
- Defender discusses his summer transfer from Blackpool
- Ollie embracing the challenge of stepping up with Huddersfield Town
Summer signing Ollie Turton is ready to embrace the challenge of playing in the Sky Bet Championship for Huddersfield Town.
The defender officially joins the Terriers on 1 July, at the expiry of his contract with newly promoted Blackpool, having helped his former club win the League 1 Play-Off Final at Wembley.
His extended commitments at the end of last season delayed his first interview with HTTV, but now he can’t wait until 7 August and the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
“Just to play at Wembley, and then to achieve promotion as well; it was a big personal achievement,” Ollie told HTTV.
“However, I’m ready for a new challenge and happy to be here. I felt a change would be good for me, and when I first heard Huddersfield were interested, I was immediately drawn to it. This club has a big history and only a couple of years ago was playing in the Premier League. It’s a good place to be.
“The way they see football and the different way of playing instantly drew me in – to try something different. It’s fast, intense football, which I’m all for. I imagine it’s exciting to play!
“I feel the fittest I ever have during my career and now, after a good season last year, I want to keep on learning, developing and hopefully get better and better.”
